From: “The Africa Kitchen” by Josie Stow and Jan Baldwin. These spicy cheese crackers are from North Africa and can be eaten on their own or served with a dip such as Masi Mara. Ingredients:
10 tablespoons butter |
2 cups cheddar cheese, coarsely grated |
2 cups flour |
1 egg yolk |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons cumin seeds |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
2 -3 pinches paprika |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
2. Place all the ingredients except the paprika in a food processor.
3. Pulse the mixture in quick, short spurts until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
4. Roll a little of the mixture into a ball, place it on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with your fingers.
5. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light golden and slightly puffed.
7. Sprinkle the crackers with paprika and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
