Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter cold and cubed, unsalted
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese finely grated, sharp
- 2-3 tablespoons water cold
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and grated cheddar cheese to the appliance. Pulse until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.
- Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until the dough comes together but isn't too wet.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 1-inch squares and spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Turn the tray halfway through baking if needed.
