Directions
Cayenne Cheese Crackers,My family loves these more than Cheez-its. I like to make them as snacks. Make sure you refrigerate them overnight, or the crisp just won’t be there. Extra sharp cheddar is a must! Silpat mats come in handy for these.,A few drops of water, if it’s too dry, before the overnight rest. Also, can reform dry crumbs into small patties, using heat and pressure of your hands (palm to palm).,Delicious! I had some trouble with it being too dry/crumbly, and not sticking together, but that may be b/c I tried to substitute canola oil for the butter (I had to add a full 1/2 c of canola oil, though, and it was still dry). Next time, I’ll toss in a few drops of water BEFORE the overnight rest, to see if that helps (butter isn’t pure fat, there’s some liquid in there). I tried adding water ~after~ the overnight set, when it was all crumbly, but that did not work (it turned into biscuits). However, quickly slicing the logs all at once, before placing on baking sheet seemed helpful. And, I discovered you can pick up the crumbs and pat them in the palm of your hands (palm to palm) and that seems to make the leftover crumbs come together – i just put those re-formed patties on the baking sheet – less pretty, but just as delicious.
