Southern Cheese Crackers: Better-Than-Cheddar-Biscuits Bites! 🧀🔥


 

1️⃣ Make the Dough

  1. In a food processor, pulse cheese, butter, flour, and spices until crumbly.

  2. Add 1 tbsp water, pulsing until dough clumps together (add more water if needed).

2️⃣ Roll & Cut

  1. Roll dough ¼-inch thick between parchment paper.

  2. Cut into 1-inch squares (or use tiny cookie cutters for fun shapes!).

  3. Poke each cracker with a toothpick (for even baking).

3️⃣ Bake to Perfection

  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 mins until golden.

  • Brush with melted butter + seasoning right out of the oven.


Pro Tips

🧈 Cheese tip: Pre-shredded cheese works, but hand-grated melts better.
🌶️ Spicy kick: Add ¼ tsp cayenne to the dough.
❄️ Freeze before baking: Store cut crackers raw for 3 months—bake straight from frozen (+2 mins).


Serving Ideas

🍲 With chili or tomato soup – The ultimate dunk!
🍷 Wine pairing: Chardonnay or crisp lager
🎉 Party trick: Serve in mini cups with pepper jelly dip
