Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 90 grams Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and softened unsalted butter. Mix until well blended and smooth, using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon.
Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough.
Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, being careful not to crush the cereal too much. Mix until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Pinch off small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the tines of a fork, gently flatten each ball into a disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden and crisp.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack.
Serve the Cheese Krispies Crackers immediately, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
