Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Sharp cheddar cheese
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Rice Krispies cereal
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese finely and set it aside. Make sure it is at room temperature for easier mixing.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and grated cheddar cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or wooden spoon.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, and salt to the butter and cheese mixture. Mix until fully combined into a dough-like consistency.
Gently fold the Rice Krispies cereal into the dough using a spatula or your hands, being careful not to crush the cereal too much.
Scoop out heaping teaspoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into small balls using your hands.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of space between each ball to allow for slight spreading during baking.
Using your fingers or the back of a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it into a biscuit shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Cheese Krispies Biscuits once cooled, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
