Homemade Cheese Wafers
I have to admit Cheez-its can be a pretty tasty snack, but SO processed. And cheese wafers are actually incredibly easy to make. Every mother seems to have a recipe for them down here and they pop up at so many get togethers. And that's because they are delectable. These cheese wafers have a crunchy, salty, and rich flavor all in one bite. People just can't seem to get enough of them. If you use local cheese and butter their impact is pretty minimal because there aren't a lot of ingredients and most of them you likely already have in the pantry.
If you want to use them as a gift all you have to do is use a nice pen and write the recipe on a recipe card. Put a few of them in a leftover baggy and tie with some hemp ribbon. It's so easy and thoughtful.
INGREDIENTS
| 1 1/4 lb | local cheddar cheese, grated, room temperature |
| 1 stick | local butter, room temperature |
| 1 cup | self-rising flour |
| 3/4 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 1/4 tsp | red pepper |
| 1/4 tsp | cayenne pepper |
| 1/2 tsp | dry mustard |
PREPARATION:
- Cream together butter and cheese. Sift flour, pepper, and mustard together.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Shape into little marbles with your fingers and then flatten with a fork.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes in a 350 degree preheated oven. If you choose to double the recipe use 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour. Do not let them get too brown.
