Ingredients
1 pound cheddar cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
8 tablespoons butter, plus a little for greasing the pan
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grate cheese. Sift flour, salt, cayenne & mustard into large bowl. Cut in butter and mix until fully combined (this can be done in a food processor). Stir in cheese and then knead with hands until batter comes together. If necessary, add small amount of ice water.
- Roll into ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes (this can be done up to 2 days in advance of cooking). When dough is chilled, roll to about 1/4" inch thick and cut into strips about 1/2" wide. Place on slightly greased baking sheet and bake until golden, about 8-10 minutes.
