Parmesan, sage and polenta biscuits

By Hannah Lewry
8 to 10
Easy
20 minutes
15–20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 150 g cake flour
  • 30 g polenta
  • 120 g Parmesan, grated
  • 40 g caster sugar
  • salt, a pinch
  • ½ cup light olive oil
  • 20 g sage leaves, some chopped and some whole

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C.
  2. Place the dry ingredients in a bowl, then stir in the chopped sage leaves and oil.
  3. Shape the dough into balls, then flatten slightly. Press whole sage leaves into the surface of each biscuit. Arrange on a greased baking tray and chill for 1 hour.
  4. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until very lightly coloured. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.

Cook's note: For last-minute drinks parties, I like to pop some easy savoury biscuits in the oven so my guests are greeted by the amazing cheesy, herby aromas when they arrive.
