Flaky and spicy bites, perfect for snacking or alongside a bowl of soup.
- ½ cup / 1 stick / 113 g butter
- 2 cups grated cheddar
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- Put all ingredients except cream in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cream and pulse until just combined. Divide dough into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a rectangle, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 mins, until firm.
