Directions
Cheddar – Parmesan Crackers, A recipe by Laura Werlin, and found at Leite’s Culinaria These cheesy, buttery gems will likely become a mainstay in your repertoire Not only are they crispy, rich, and well, addictive, they can be partially made up to a month in advance That’s because once the dough is made, it can be frozen and simply cut to order as you need it Just be sure to freeze it in small portions so that you don’t have to defrost it all at once Although these crackers are great plain, you can draw on the age-old apples and cheddar theme by topping them with a dollop of Apple-Pear Butter , Fantastic, crisp cheesy crackers! Instead of using the slice and bake method, I rolled out the dough until it was about 1/4 inch thickness, cut them into squares, and chilled the dough The ratio of cheese to flour and butter is just perfect used 1 tsp gochugaru powder, a dash of ancho chile powder and a pinch of white pepper for the seasoning instead of mustard and cayenne This recipe is a keeper! The hardest part is waiting for these tasty little crackers to cool off to consume!, Made as written, I wished I had jazzed them up a bit Though the cheese taste was present- used sharp cheddar – they were kind of bland and too doughy compared to other cheese crackers I’ve made
