Corn biscuits, Italian style and curry flavoured

The basic dough (for 2-3 baking pans, depending on the size of the biscuits):
  • 200 grs of corn flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2-3 dkgs of of melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • bout 1 dl of milk, or the amount that sticks the pastry together
  • grated hard Italian and smoked cheese, about 60 grs
  • a pinch of baking powder

For the Italian seasoning:
  1. a can of mashed tomatoes
  2. lots of Italian seasoning or fresh basil, rosemary, thyme etc
For the curry seasoned version:
  • some ground cumin
  • as much madras curry seasoning as you dare to add
First mix the dry ingredients in a dish (the seasonings are also added now in both cases). Whisk the eggs, pour them into the dish and mix. Melt the butter, let it cool down a bit, then add it to the pastry. Knead it a bit, then add the milk (in the Italian version, mix the tomato juice with the milk before it) gradually, careful not to make the pastry too sticky or too dry. Now knead it thouroughly. Make little balls of it the size you want the biscuits to be, them flatten them with a fork. Bake them in pan, on baking paper, at 200° until the top of the biscuits starts to get brown.
