Ingredients:

Serving

100 g plain flour
85 g cold butter, diced
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp polenta
1 tbsp poppy seed
100 g stilton cheese, crumbled
20 g stilton cheese, crumbled to top the cookies

Directions:

In a large bowl, rub together the flour, butter, mustard powder, cayenne, polenta (if using), poppy seeds, stilton and a pinch of salt, using your fingers and hands, until the mixture forms a pastry dough.
Knead the dough briefly until it really sticks together and is very lightly speckled with tiny bits of cheese. You can be quite heavy-handed.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a sausage shape with your hands, about 25cm long and 4cm in diameter.
Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 1 hour. (The pastry can now be chilled for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month. The pastry can be sliced and cooked from frozen but you need to cut it slightly thicker.).
To bake the biscuits, preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/ fan 170°C
Slice the dough into rounds just under 1cm thick.
Lay the rounds a couple of centimeters apart on a baking sheet (or two, if you are cooking all the biscuits at the same time).
Put a very small piece of stilton in the middle of each biscuit.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are starting to go golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Leave to cool slightly before serving.
The biscuits will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight tin.
