Ingredients

2.  Grate the cheese using a box grater.

4.  Place the butter and flour into a bowl.

5. Rub the butter and flour between your fingers until it looks and feels like breadcrumbs.

6.  Stir in the cheese.

7.  Add the eggs and stir until your mixture forms a soft dough.  It may feel a little bit sticky.

8.  Sprinkle flour onto your work surface.

9.  Roll your dough out to about 1cm thick.
