Ingrediants

• 
  Plain flour
  
• 
  Strong hard chedder cheese
  
• 
  Butter or hard cooking margerine or a mixture of the two
  
• 
  Salt and pepper to season
  
• 
  An egg yolk
  

As far as quantities goes the Basic premise is twice as much flour as fat, and about the same amount of grated chedder cheese as flour. So, 120 G Plain flour, with about 60 G butter, and 100 to 120 G chedder cheese. If a single egg yolk isn't sufficient use two or if only a bit more liquid is required a bit of water can do in its place.
