125 gram butter, at room temperature, chopped

1 egg

1 1/4 cup plain flour

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Place cheeses and butter into a bowl. Using fingertips, rub together. Mix in egg well.

2.Sift flour and cayenne together into puller mixture. Add chives and mix with a wooden spoon until dough just comes together.
