Chloe and I have been baking again. Or at least I've been baking and Chloe has been rubbing flour into the cracks between the floorboards. We made some cheese biscuits in little star shapes and they were a huge hit with Chloe. She normally refuses anything involving cheese (I do remember Sam and I having the somewhat deluded idea that we'd have a child who would even like olives - oh, how wrong we were she lives on peas, corn, beans, pasta, fish patties and chicken).
Cheesey Stars
100g plain flour
50g butter
50g cheddar grated
1 egg beaten
Preheat oven to 200 degreed C. Rub the butter into the flour then mix in the grated cheese. Mix in the beaten egg - you may have to use your hands for this. Roll out, using plenty of extra flour (all the better to make a mess with) and cut into shapes.
Our stars were very small and about 4mm thick and took just under 10 minutes to cook. So keep an eye on yours.
This is an incredibly simple recipe and whilst, not particularily healthy, I think we'll make them fairly often. Chloe enjoyed cutting out the stars and the finished product made me want to rush out and buy more cookie cutters. I may try using parmesan and cracked pepper for a grown up snack.

What a great recipe. My boys like eating cheese, cheese and more cheese, so I think this will be just the ticket for us!
Yum, the kids are going to love these, and such a good recipe to get the kids involved too.
