Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 170 grams Unsalted butter (chilled and cubed)
- 100 grams Sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 unit Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Milk or water (for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 2
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
Step 3
Mix in the grated cheddar cheese and chopped fresh rosemary until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, while gently mixing the dough with a fork or your hands. Stop adding water as soon as the dough starts coming together.
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together into a disk. Do not overwork the dough to maintain its flakiness.
Step 6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thickness. Cut the pastry into your desired shapes, such as squares, circles, or strips.
Step 9
Transfer the cut pastry pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between them.
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk (or water) to prepare the egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the top of each pastry piece.
Step 11
Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and allow the pastries to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Step 13
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Cheddar Rosemary Pastries.
