Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s preheated and ready for baking.
-
Prepare Cookie Sheet: Grease a cookie sheet thoroughly to prevent the crispers from sticking during baking.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter (softened), shredded cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, and salt. Blend the ingredients well until you have a cohesive dough.
-
Shape Dough: Take small portions of the dough and roll them into small balls using your hands. Aim for uniformity in size to ensure even baking.
-
Flatten Crispers: Place each dough ball onto the greased cookie sheet, leaving some space between each one. Flatten each ball slightly using a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
-
Bake: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake the crispers for approximately 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the crispers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delightful cheesy flavor and spicy kick of these homemade Cheese Crispers!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs such as thyme or rosemary to the dough mixture.
- Store any leftover crispers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- These crispers can be enjoyed on their own as a snack or served alongside your favorite dips and spreads.
Note:
- The dough mixture for these Cheese Crispers can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake. Simply shape the dough into balls when ready to bake and follow the remaining instructions as usual.
