Cheese nuts
Description
Such cheese bites make a wonderful breakfast or a snack any time of day. They go beautifully with tea or coffee, and they’re very tasty with milk as well. If the cheese isn’t very salty, you can add a little salt to the dough. Use refined vegetable oil so its flavour doesn’t overpower everything else.
