Ingredients
Method
1.Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl, until pale and creamy. Add egg; beat well, until combined. Sift flour and baking powder over butter mixture. Using a flat-bladed knife and cutting action, cut mixture together to combine; gently bring together with your hands.
2.Add cheese and milk to dough. Mix until combined. Divide dough into 5 equal portions. Roll each portion to a 25 x 15cm rectangle. Place on baking paper. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. For each rectangle, roll up from the long side to form a log. Fold paper around log; twist ends to seal. Chill 30 minutes, or until firm.
3.Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
4.Unwrap each log; slice into 1cm-thick rounds. Place on tray, 3cm apart. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool on tray 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To freeze dough: wrap dough portions separately in plastic food wrap, then in foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw 15 minutes, at room temperature. Add cheese and poppy seed mix to dough.
