Yield Makes about 28 chips

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 (6-ounce) piece cold sharp Cheddar
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Using largest holes on a box grater, coarsely shred enough cheese to measure 2 1/2 cups.
  • Toss together cheese and cayenne in a bowl, then make 4 mounds of cheese (1 tablespoon each) about 2 inches apart in a 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over low heat (cheese will melt and spread), undisturbed, until bubbling and firm enough to lift, 4 to 5 minutes (do not turn over). Quickly transfer with a metal spatula to a rolling pin, allowing chips to drape over pin, and cool completely. Pour off fat from skillet and wipe clean with paper towels. Make more chips in same manner.

CAYENNE CHEESE CRACKERS

My family loves these more than Cheez-its. I like to make them as snacks. Make sure you refrigerate them overnight, or the crisp just won't be there. Extra sharp cheddar is a must! Silpat mats come in handy for these.

CHEDDAR-CAYENNE COINS



Cheddar-Cayenne Coins image

These are fairly spicy, so use the smaller amount of cayenne if you want a milder kick. Pecans or pine nuts would work in place of the walnuts.Yields about 4 dozen 1-1/2-inch coins. Half Cheddar and half Parmigiano-Reggiano can be substituted for all Cheddar

Time 35m

Yield 4 dozen, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, chilled
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup walnuts, medium chopped finely
kosher salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, cheese, salt, and cayenne in a food processor. Process until just blended. Add the butter pieces and pulse until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Stir the yolk and water together with a fork and drizzle over the mixture. Pulse until the dough begins to form small moist crumbs. Add the chopped nuts and pulse briefly until the crumbs begin to come together.
  • Pile the moist crumbs on an unfloured work surface. With the heel of your hand, push and gently smear the crumbs away from you until they start to come together in a cohesive dough. Using a pastry scraper or a metal spatula, lift up one edge of the dough and fold it into the center (the dough will still be rough, so don't expect a neat, smooth fold). Repeat with the opposite edge, like folding a letter. Turn the dough 45 degrees. Give the dough another smearing and shape it into a 14-inch log that's 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours, or up to two days.
  • Heat the oven to 375°F Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Using a thin, sharp knife, cut the log into scant 1/4-inch slices. Arrange about 1/2 inch apart on the prepared sheets. Bake until medium to deep golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the sheets as needed for even baking. If you like, sprinkle the crackers with a little kosher salt just as the baking sheets come out of the oven. Set the sheets on racks to cool. When the coins are completely cool, store them in an airtight container.
  • Make Ahead Tips.
  • The rolled log of dough may be frozen for up to a month and then thawed for about an hour on the counter or in the refrigerator overnight. Or bake the coins ahead, wrap short stacks in plastic, pack the stacks in plastic containers, and stash them in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature (or put the frozen coins right in the oven) and warm them for a few minutes at 325°F to refresh them.

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Add cheese, and pulse until combined. With machine running, add milk. Process until dough comes together and is well combined.

Tips:

  • To ensure crispy chips, use thinly sliced potatoes. A mandoline slicer works well for this purpose, but a sharp knife can also be used.
  • Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the chips from sticking together.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the potato slices. The ideal temperature is between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is not hot enough, the chips will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the potato chips. This will cause the chips to stick together and not cook evenly.
  • Once the potato chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Season the chips with salt, pepper, and other seasonings while they are still hot. This will help the seasonings to adhere to the chips.
  • Store the chips in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. The chips will stay crispy for up to 2 days.
