Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (about 4 oz.) grated cheddar cheese
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cut into 4 pieces
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp coarse salt
• dash of cayenne pepper
• 1 Tbsp milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a pastry cutter combine the cheese, butter, flour, salt and cayenne pepper until the mixture looks like pea-size crumbs. Add the milk and use your hands to form the dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough about 1/8-inch thick. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into your desired shapes or use some mini cookie cutters. Gently transfer the crackers to an ungreased cookie sheet leaving 1/4-inch between them. Try to make the crackers roughly about the same size so everything will cook evenly. Bake the crackers on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers are golden. Cool on baking sheet set on a wire rack. These taste great warm but are also very good at room temperature. Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
