Instructions: Preheat oven to moderate (180 deg C). Lightly grease 2 baking trays and line with baking paper. Sift flour and salt. Rub in butter and cheese. Knead mixture together lightly. During hot weather it may be necessary to chill the dough for 1/2 hour for easy handling.

Roll into small balls with floured hands and toss in sesame seeds or coconut. Place onto baking trays allowing a little room between, press lightly with a fork.

If you own a Swedish biscuit press, add an extra one or two tablespoons flour so the mixture is the right consistency. Adjust the triangle and notches for thin biscuits. Form dough into a roll with floured hands and fill the barrel. Adjust disc for thin biscuits then press mixture out into shapes on the greased tray. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or coconut. Bake in a moderate oven for about 20 minutes.
