Because you were given some foot-shaped cutters for Christmas, and were so tickled by the idea.
You'll need:
150g cheddar cheese, grated
100g plain flour
100g butter
1 egg yolk
Stick the oven on at about 180 degrees C.
Mix together the cheese and flour in a large bowl. Rub in the butter (it's probably easiest if you cut it into smallish cubes first).
Add the egg yolk, and mix everything together - it should come together into a stiff-ish dough.
Tip out onto a floured worktop. Roll out the pastry to 1cm deep or so, and get cutting. We've got three sizes of foot, which is very pleasing. Place them on a baking sheet, which has been lined with greaseproof paper or a silicon sheet.
Bake in the oven for 8 minutes or so - they really don't take long so keep an eye on them. Whip the feet out when they're a light golden brown colour. You might want to leave them on the tray for a few minutes before decanting them onto a cooling rack - they're rather fragile.
Eat as soon as possible - they're gorgeous when warm.
