Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Pulse butter, grated cheese, flour, salt and cayenne pepper in food processor until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add heavy cream and pulse until just combined.

Divide dough into 4 pieces; shape into rectangles. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).

Working in batches, roll out each rectangle on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4 inch thickness.

Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and cut into 1 inch squares.

Separate squares, leaving at least 1/4 inch between each. Refrigerate until chilled and firm (about 20 minutes).

Bake until pale brown, 15-17 minutes.
