LITTLE ROQUEFORT BISCUITS8 ounces Roquefort cheese, room temperature 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces black pepper 1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cups packed self-rising flour (as needed) 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Crumble Roquefort into bowl of electric mixer. Add butter, cut into small pieces, and mix for 1 minute until well blended. Add a grinding of black pepper, 1 1/3 cups flour and 1 to 2 tablespoons cold water. Mix on medium speed until dough comes away from sides of bowl. Do not overmix. Dough should be firm and not at all sticky. Add a little more flour if necessary. Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and with your hands roll dough into a 1-inch-diameter log. Slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Place rounds on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve warm. These also freeze well and reheat beautifully.
