  1. Really really good!! The pepper flakes add just the right amount of zing and how can you go wrong with olives and cheese????? Thanks Jewelies!!
     
  2. Very nice. The measurements were kinda strange once converted for U.S. so here's what I ended up with: 4oz(1cube) of butter, 6oz(1 1/2 cups) jack cheese, 2oz(2/3 cup) parmesan cheese, and the rest the same except I couldn't help myself...this recipe made me add a 4oz can of diced mild green chilies...and they were so wonderful in it (I also would have had to add a lot of extra water but the chilies made the dough a perfect consistency). I used my pastry blender to cut the butter and flour together and the rest I mixed with a fork. I put the dough in a tupperware in the refrigerator for 2 hours and then scooped out 1 inch balls and baked them at 350F for about 15 minutes. They turned out like little tangy, cheesy biscuits. They were a little greasy though. Thank you for the recipe to play with! Made for Zaar Tag.
