Cheese Wafers with Pepper Jelly
Ingredients
  • 2 cups  all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup  butter, cut up
  • 1 teaspoon  sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon  curry powder
  • Dash cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups  shredded sharp cheddar cheese (such as Beecher's Flagship Reserve) (8 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons  water
  • Jalapeno pepper jelly
Directions

1. In a food processor, combine flour, butter, sugar, salt, curry powder, and cayenne pepper. Cover and process with two or three on-off pulses until mixture resembles peas. Add cheese. Cover and process with two or three on-off pulses. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition just until mixture is moistened.

2. Gather mixture into a ball; divide in half. Shape each half into a 10-inch log. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 24 hours.

3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet. Cut logs into 1/4-inch slices. Place slices on the prepared baking sheet. Prick slices with a fork. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until wafers are starting to brown on edges. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Serve with pepper jelly.
