A few weeks ago I attended the Country Living Christmas Fair in London and among my favourite stalls was Godminster who sold the most delicious organic cheeses. They would make the perfect addition to your festive table and now you can be in with a chance to win your very own 400g Vintage Organic Cheddar round!

Godminster is well known for its delicious range of organic cheeses including a vintage organic waxed cheddar, oak-smoked vintage organic cheddar and a range of bries made with milk from the Godminster Farm. Godminster also makes refreshing infused vodkas, including horseradish, blackcurrant and elderflower. Chunky beetroot and apple chutney and two new varieties of crackers, rosemary water biscuits and an oat rich digestive complement the range.

How to Store The Cheddar

‘Our cheddar is organic, containing no preservatives, so we recommend refrigeration at all times at 5°C.  Remove from the fridge an hour before serving to allow the cheese to warm to room temperature and bring out the flavour.

No need to remove the wax. In fact, we find our cheese keeps its creamy consistency best, if you keep it in the wax. The cheese can be scooped or sliced. Either score around the top and use it as a lid, scooping the cheese out, or cut through the wax like you would a cake. If there’s any left replace the lid, wrap the whole cheese in cling film and refrigerate.’

Gluten Free Vanilla Biscuits Cookies

Gluten free Vanilla Biscuits

Gluten free Vanilla Biscuits

I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I now have a relative who has to eat gluten free food. Most of the time this presents absolutely no problems, it’s really only at parties where the vast majority of food is cake, biscuits and breads that all of a sudden nothing is suitable. With that in mind I’ve adapted one of my favourite biscuit recipes to make it gluten free. These biscuits are lovely sprinkled lightly with caster sugar or iced, depending on your preference.

Ingredients

300g/11oz Butter or baking margarine

450g/16oz Plain gluten free flour (I used Doves Farm)

1 Tsp Xanthum gum

250g/9oz Caster sugar

2 Tsp Vanilla extract

 

Method

In a large bowl sieve together the flour and xanthum gum. Add the butter and rub together using your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add in the caster sugar and vanilla extract, and bring together into a dough using your hands.

Start to roll your dough on a floured surface (remember to use your gluten free flour!) and then cut out into your chosen shape.

Bake at 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 for 9-10 minutes until lightly golden at the edges.

Remove from the oven and place onto a cooking rack before sprinkling lightly with caster sugar. If you are planning on icing the biscuits then omit the sprinkling of sugar and leave them to cool completely before decorating.

Tip.

If you don’t have any Xanthum gum or can’t find it (we got ours at Sainsburys so it’s readily available) then you can remove it from the recipe. However you will find that the finished biscuits are really crunchy and better for dunking in a cup of tea, also without the Xanthum gum you might need to bake for 1-2 mins less.

All my family really enjoy these biscuits whether they eat gluten or not, which makes them the perfect substitute.
