Cheez-Bits

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups finely grated sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease two baking sheets.
  • Combine the butter, cheeses, spices and salt and stir until well mixed. Add the flour and stir to combine, sprinkling with water a few drops at a time and mixing in till the dough holds its shape. Divide the dough into two balls, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Roll each dough ball onto a floured work surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut 1-inch wide strips with a fluted pastry wheel. Then cut 1-inch strips crosswise to make squares. Dimple the center of each square with the pointed end of a chopstick then arrange dough squares on baking sheets.
  • Bake in preheated oven about 15 minutes or until the crackers brown slightly and crisp. Let cool for a few minutes before removing crackers from the pan.
