HOMEMADE CHEDDAR AND PECAN CRISPS



Homemade Cheddar and Pecan Crisps image

Categories     Appetizer     Bake     Cheddar     Pecan     Chill

Yield makes about 100 crisp

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound extra-sharp cheddar, grated
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter
1 1/3 cups pecans
Kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Coarsely grate the cheddar cheese, and transfer it to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cut the two sticks of butter into sixteen pieces, and scatter the pieces over the cheese. Let the cheese and butter soften. Place the pecans in one layer on a baking sheet, and toast them in the oven until they are a shade darker and fragrant, 7 to 8 minutes. While the nuts are still warm, transfer them to a medium bowl and toss with the remaining tablespoon of butter (the hot nuts will melt the butter) and salt to taste. Cool the nuts completely, then finely chop.
  • Add the chopped pecans, flour, a pinch of salt, cayenne, and black pepper to the bowl of the mixer, and beat the ingredients at medium speed until the mixture pulls together into a dough, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into eight pieces. On a sheet of waxed paper, roll each piece of the dough into a log 1 inch in diameter, and wrap the logs tightly in waxed paper and foil. Chill the logs for at least 8 hours and up to 1 week. The dough will keep frozen for 2 months.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Working with one log at a time, cut the log crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices, and arrange the slices 1/2 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake the crisps in batches until they are golden and just firm to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the wafers on the baking sheet. Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, the wafers will keep for up to 4 days.

3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
8 ounces finely grated cheddar cheese (2 cups)
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), salt, and cayenne pepper. Add finely grated cheddar cheese and softened butter; work with hands until a dough forms.
  • Transfer to a sheet of waxed paper. Form into a 1 1/2-inch-diameter log; roll up tightly in paper. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

ASSORTED CHEDDAR CRISPS



Assorted Cheddar Crisps image

Yield Makes about 100 thin crackers

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 lb sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (preferably in a food processor)
1 large egg yolk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried mustard
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon nigella seeds
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Blend together butter, cheese, and yolk in food processor until smooth. Add flour, dried mustard, and salt and pulse until just combined. Transfer dough to a sheet of wax paper and divide into 3 portions (do not clean processor).
  • Return 1 portion to processor, add pepper, and pulse until combined well, then transfer to another sheet of wax paper. Shape into a 7-inch-long log (1 1/2 inches thick), using paper as an aid, then roll up log in paper and twist ends of paper to close. Make 2 more logs on separate sheets of wax paper in same manner, using caraway seeds for second log and nigella seeds for third log (instead of pepper) and cleaning processor in between batches. Chill logs until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap 1 log and cut enough thin slices (about 1/8 inch thick) from it to fill baking sheet, arranging slices 1 inch apart. Bake until edges of crackers are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer on parchment to a rack and cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Make more crackers in batches with remaining dough.
  • Serve crackers warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cheese, butter, and herbs will give your cheddar crisps the best flavor.
  • Grate your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help the dough to hold its shape and prevent it from sticking to the counter.
  • Bake the cheddar crisps until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Peppery cheddar crisps are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own peppery cheddar crisps at home. So next time you are looking for a tasty snack, give this recipe a try.
