These crackers are soft and crumbly and the type of Christmas finger food that everybody loves. The horseradish is very subtle but gives the crackers wonderful flavour and makes them extremely moreish.

This post has been created in partnership with Colman’s.

Tip: For gifts we tend to make the standard recipe so people can choose their own topping, but a little grated cheese and picked thyme added to the pastry before baking also works brilliantly.
