Sift dry ingredients in a bowl, rub in butter.( I do this in a food processor)Add cheeses, mustard and enough lemon juice to mix to a firm dough; Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Place dough in the centre of a sheet of plastic wrap, fold half the wrap over dough. Shape dough into a 30 cm.(12 inches) log, wrap; refrigerate for several hours. Cut dough into 5mm.slices( a little less than 1/4 inch), place on a slightly greased cookie sheet or sheets; brush with milk, sprinkle with seeds. Bake in a moderate oven( 350¼F) for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Stand 5 minutes before lifting onto wire racks to cool. Makes 24
to 30 biscuits.
NOTE: Store biscuits in an airtight container for up to a week. They can be frozen, unbaked, for up to 2 months. Cook frozen biscuits for about 25 minutes.
