Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and chili flakes to the flour mixture. Stir to combine evenly.
Gradually add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
Use a small round cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into wafer-sized pieces. Transfer the pieces to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the wafers are golden and crisp.
Allow the wafers to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
