Suitable for freezing

 

 

1 Preheat oven to 230°C(210°fan)/450°F/Gas 8. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2 Sift flour into a large bowl, then rub in butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

3 Stir cheese and chorizo into flour. Then add milk and mix to a soft but not sticky dough.

4 Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth.

5 Roll out to 2cm (¾in) thick and cut out rounds with a 7.5cm (3in) circular cutter. Repeat until dough is used up.

6 Place on baking sheet and brush tops with milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
