CRISPY CHEESE WAFERS RECIPE



Crispy Cheese Wafers Recipe image

Everyone simply loves these because they are extra crunchy from the addition of rice cereal. I strongly suggest serving these round wafers alongside a dish of pepper jelly and a block of softened cream cheese or log of goat cheese. Smear a little cheese on a wafer and top with a dab of the jelly to form a perfect bite. Repeat often. Luckily this recipe makes about 4 dozen wafers, so you might have just enough to go around. You can find this recipe and more in The Southern Living Community Cookbook: Celebration Food and Fellowship in the American South by Sheri Castle.

Yield About 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups (8 ounces) freshly grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or to taste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup crisp rice cereal

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°.
  • Mix together cheese, butter, flour, red pepper, Worcestershire and salt in a large bowl until mixture forms a ball that lightly sticks together and pulls in all the flour. (Hands might work best for this).
  • Gently fold cereal into dough.
  • Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Place balls about 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
  • Bake 15 minutes or until firm. Cool on pan on wire rack. Store in airtight container up to 1 week.

CHEESE WAFERS

Categories     appetizer

Yield 6 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups sifted flour
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound unsalted butter, cut into slim pats
1/2 pound Parmesan cheese, freshly and finely grated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, cayenne, and salt in a large shallow bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add the cheese and rub into the flour-butter mixture gently with your fingertips until a small bit of dough, when pinched together, will hold its shape. Roll into 3/4-inch balls, place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, then flatten into rounds 1/4-inch thick by pressing with a flat-bottomed glass that has been dipped into flour. (You'll have to keep dipping the glass into flour to keep the dough from sticking to it.) Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes until pale tan. Transfer the wafers at once to wire racks to cool, then store airtight.

Yield Each log makes about 62 wafers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup pecans
2 sticks (1 cup) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pound extra-sharp Cheddar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
parchment paper for lining baking sheets

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a shallow baking pan toast pecans in one layer in middle of oven until a shade darker and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer nuts while still hot to a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon butter and salt to taste. Cool nuts completely and finely chop.
  • Coarsely grate Cheddar and transfer to a large bowl. Cut remaining 2 sticks butter into 16 pieces and scatter over cheese. Let cheese and butter soften. Add nuts, flour, and cayenne and with an electric mixer beat mixture until it forms a dough.
  • Divide dough into 8 pieces. On a sheet of wax paper roll each piece of dough into a 1-inch-diameter log and wrap logs tightly in wax paper and foil. Chill logs at least 8 hours and up to 1 week. Dough keeps, frozen, 2 months. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Working with 1 log at a time, with a sharp knife cut log crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and arrange slices 1/2 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake wafers in batches in middle of oven until pale golden and just firm to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool wafers on baking sheet 2 minutes. With a metal spatula transfer wafers to a rack to cool. Turn wafers over and sprinkle with salt to taste. (Crevices on undersides hold salt without letting it roll off.) Wafers keep in an airtight container at room temperature 4 days.

Tips:

  • Soften the cream cheese: This will make it easier to mix and spread.
  • Use a sharp cheddar cheese: This will give the wafers a bolder flavor.
  • Add some herbs or spices: This will give the wafers an extra layer of flavor. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the wafers tough.
  • Roll the dough out thinly: This will help the wafers to crisp up in the oven.
  • Bake the wafers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
