Cheese Crackers
Ingredients
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup flour, part for rolling
2 tbsp margarine or butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 pinch paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tbsp water
Preparation
Mix all together in a bowl. Original directions suggested shaping
into a roll 1 1/2 inch wide, chilling at least 2 hours wrapped in wax
paper and cutting in thin slices to make 1 dozen or more crackers.
This would produce neatly shaped crackers, possibly thicker than
desired.
By rolling very thin, this amount of dough will make small crackers
about 1/2 inch apart to cover 1 1/2 small cookie sheets. They do puff
up while baking. May be cut quickly in random small shapes with a
plastic knife.
Suggested toppings coarse salt (made them too salty), garlic salt,
celery salt, curry powder, or freshly ground black pepper. If the
dough is very dry after rolling, brush tops with water before
salting. If it is soft, sprinkle lightly and press the salt into the
crackers.
Bake 5 minutes at 425 F or until browned.
