Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams sharp cheddar cheese
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 60 grams unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Add the all-purpose flour, cold diced butter, freshly cracked black pepper, paprika, and salt to the bowl.
Using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the mixture together until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and knead lightly until the dough just comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Use a round cookie cutter or a knife to cut out small discs or squares of dough.
Place the cut-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crisps are golden and firm.
Allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
