sr flour g 500
yolks 2
salt to taste
pepper to taste
milk ml 120
cheese g
250
rosemary g
10
chives g

First cut your herbs; I just picked what looked enough then weighed them out of interest
Because I was going to use a biscuit press I wanted everything to be fine enough to go through the holes
I used Mrs Doughnut's mini chopper which sits on the end of a stick blender
It worked very well on the rosemary but not so well on the chives which are soggy so they get whizzed around, stick to the chopper wall and the bits are not fine enough

So, I mixed the two and tried again, it looks ok but

it ain't enough, the wet stuff still sticks to the wall

so add flour and do it again, now it's like talc

Anyway, the final mix was too wet and the mighty biscuit gun struggled, the biscuits wouldn't stick to the tray and needed to be dug out with a spoon so I used fingers and forks

Changes for the next go

butter g 250 190
sr flour g 500 500
yolks 2 3
salt to taste to taste
pepper to taste to taste
milk ml 120 80
cheese g 250 150
rosemary g 10 10
chives g 7 10
