Wonderfully flavoursome and really easy to follow instructions. Just loved the ease and simplicity of making these, a major factor in my being happy to make these again! I used generous grindings of black pepper rather than cayenne pepper - zero tolerance of anything hot and spicy - and to add some extra flavour I added some sage and thyme to the rosemary, a blend I really like. Thank you for sharing this super recipe, Studentchef. Made for PRMR.

Down South here we have a nice biscuit we call cheese straws. This reminded me of them with it's buttery, cheesy, melt in your mouth flavor. I added a little more cayenne pepper. This was soooo easy and I will use this again and again.....thank you!
