Ingredients

125 g butter, softened

1 1/4 cups plain flour

2 tsp rosemary, finely chopped

12 black olives, pitted and finely chopped

1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

A little ground black pepper

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a tray with baking paper.

2.Combine all of the ingredients in your food processor briefly, until a ball of dough has formed. Chill the dough for about 10 minutes as this makes it easier to handle.

3.Roll the dough out on a piece of baking paper about 1/4-inch thick and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. Re-roll the odd bits of dough (handling as little as possible) and continue making the biscuits until all of the dough is used.

4.Bake for about 15-17 minutes or until lightly coloured. Cool on a wire rack. These keep well in an airtight container.
