3/4 c Flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts -salt
8 oz Sharp Cheddar cheese
4 tb Salted butter
Cayenne pepper; to taste
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and process until a ball
of
dough forms. Divide dough in thirds, roll into a 1" log. Sometimes I
roll
the dough in poppy seeds or toasted sesame seeds. Wrap each roll
tightly in
aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. When very firm,
slice
into 1/8" "pennies" and bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 8
to
10 minutes, on an ungreased cookie sheet. When golden brown, remove
from
oven. Don't let these burn as they really don't taste too good. Let
stand
for 2 or 3 minutes and then put on a rack to cool. These may be frozen,
very successfully. Simply cool the pennies and put it in an air tight
container and freeze. When you want to use them, simply heat them in a
450
degree oven for 2 or 3 minutes and they'll crisp right up again.
