1. Lard/Butter
2. Plain Flour
3. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
4. Egg
4-ingredients only! It’s all you need. Oh, and you will need salt, but who doesn’t have salt at home?!
Anyway, the method is simple; all the dry ingredients are mixed, then the egg is added, and this should help everything come together to a soft dough.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop round balls from the dough and place them onto the baking trays. Gently press the balls to flatten them, and add more shredded cheese on top. Bake in the oven.
