Make the cheese dough

• Shred the sharp cheddar cheese into a mixing bowl.
• Add the softened butter, flour and paprika.
• Mix everything together really well until it forms a nice dough.

Dry the olives

• Drain the olives and pat them dry with a paper towel so the dough sticks.

Wrap the olives in dough

• Take a generous piece of dough and flatten it into a thin layer in your hand.
• Wrap it around an olive, trimming off any excess dough.
• Place the wrapped olive on the baking sheet and repeat with the rest.

Bake

• Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) until golden brown.
• Let the balls cool slightly before serving.
