Ingredients
- 8 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese, grated
- 6 ounces butter, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon hot paprika
- ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to mix together the cheese, butter, mustard, mustard powder, paprika, cayenne and salt for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the mixer running on low, slowly add the flour and mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into two equal portions and roll each into a log about 2 inches thick. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice dough logs into ¼-inch-thick slices and place on baking sheets, leaving about ½ inch of space between each.
- Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, or until golden on the sides. Allow crackers to cool completely, then serve right away or store in an airtight container until ready to serve or gift.
