Jalapeño-Cheddar Wafers

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Butter - (1 stick) - room temperature
2 cups	292g / 10oz	Finely-grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese - room temperature
2 tablespoons	30ml	Finely-chopped pickled jalapeños
1 tablespoon	15ml	Finely-chopped pimento
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Worcestershire sauce

Recipe Instructions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and cheese together in a mixing bowl with a wooden spoon until thoroughly blended. Blend in the jalapeños, pimento, mustard, salt and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Add the flour and stir to make a stiff dough.

Roll into 2 (15-inch) logs. Cut into 1-inch pieces for a total of 30. (This step ensures the wafers will all be about the same size.) Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Arrange on baking sheets and flatten in a crisscross pattern with a fork dipped in flour. Bake until lightly browned, 20 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

This recipe yields 30 wafers.
