Cheesy Smoked Paprika Crackers
Tags: Snack
Yield: 6
- 10 tablespoons (5 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces Parmesan, grated
- 2 ounces sharp cheddar, grated
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (about 6 ounces) all purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons Spanish smoked paprika
- fresh ground black pepper
- Smoked salt (or sea salt) for sprinkling on top
- Toss butter, Parmesan, cheddar, flour, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper with fingers in large bowl until combined. Using hands, press mixture into a dough. Roll dough into a log 2 1/4 inches diameter and tightly wrap in parchment paper, twisting ends of parchment to keep log tight. Chill 45 minutes or until just firm.
- Adjust oven racks to lower and upper middle positions and preheat to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove paper from log and slice into 1/8-thick discs. Space evenly on pans. Sprinkle with smoked salt and bake until a deep golden brown, about 15 minutes, rotating pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway through. Let crackers cool completely on pans.
