Here's another request - I am looking for a recipe for Peppery Cheddar coins that was in the old

elaine

Well-known member
swap at 48301-48400. The site that appears on Google doesn't have numbers that high. Anyone have this recipe or know how to do more on Gail's.

 
Those are nice. I'd rather slice from a log and bake personally. That is also nice

to have logs on hand in the freezer to slice off and bake fresh in a hurry. ;o)

 
These are good.... Savoury Shortbread

Savoury Shortbread (A Chatelaine Recipe)

Here are two more...

Parmesan Shortbread

2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup butter, softened
2 - 4 tbsp cracked black pepper

In bowl, whisk flour with Parmesan cheese. Using pastry blender or two knives, ciut in butter until crumbly.

Pressing crumbs together, gather dough into ball; flatten into rectangle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. (Refrigerate for up to 3 days.)

Divide dough in half (quarters). On lightly floured surface, roll each into 12 inch log.

Spread half (quarter) of the pepper on 24 inch square of waxed paper; roll log in pepper, turning to coat evenly. Roll up in paper, twisting ends to seal. Repeart with remaining log(s) and pepper.

Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour, rerolling logs twice to maintain roundness. (Make ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 week or overwrap with heavy-duty foil and freeze in airtight container for up to 1 month. Let frozen logs thaw slightly before slicing.)

Using serrated knife, cut dough into 1/4 inch slices and place about 1 inch apart on parchment paper-lined or greased baking sheet.

Bake in centre of 250ËšF oven until lightly browned and fragrant, about 1 hour. (Make ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 week. (I’ve frozen them for a couple of months with no issue.)


I made the rolls smaller....about the circumference of a dime and didn't roll them in pepper as suggested. I think I would prefer to roll them into poppy seeds. Also I baked them at 300ËšF for 30 minutes but would check them after the 10 minute mark. I served them in a bowl as one would nuts.


Cheese Crisps

1/2 cup softened butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup crisp rice cereal
1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, optional

Mix butter and cheese together. Whisk together the flour, salt and cayenne pepper. Combine the two mixtures. Add the rice cereal and nuts, if using. Mix.
Roll into small balls and place on ungreased baking sheet. Press with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Makes about 48.

 
First of all so many thanks for all your input. I am going to be in the kitchen from now until

my Friday nite so I will write on Sat. I did want the Cheddar coil recipe and thats to you I got it.

 
elaine, I've also had good success using a pizelle (or Krumkake) iron to

press them flat rather than slice/bake. You end up with a very thin crispy cracker.

You do have to wipe down the iron after each pressing because the butter exudes out. But oh, the heavenly crispiness of these things...

NOTE: Totally avoid this method if you have a cholesterol test due any time in the near future because you won't be able to stop eating them.
