Cheddar Cheese Crisps



It's the time of year where it's nice to bring out a few extra snack ideas.  I received this recipe years ago from a friend and always loved it, but you know how it is, things get shuffled around and l lost it.  Thanks, Hilda for sharing this recipe with me again.   It's tasty, simple and easy to make and I don't think you will have any leftovers.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F
  2. Mix flour cornmeal, baking soda, sugar, and salt into large mixing bowl.

  1. These look great! I'm going to try this one today for the kids when they arrive home from school. This might be nice along with hot soup on a cold day.

  2. Homemade crackers are a wonderful treat. I make a rye cracker to serve with goat cheese, but I've never made a cheddar one. I want to try your recipe.
