Cheddar and chive wafers are a delightful, savory snack that pairs the sharpness of cheddar cheese with the freshness of chives. These crisp and flavorful bites are perfect for parties, as appetizers, or just a delicious treat for yourself.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the baking powder and a dash of salt.
Add the chilled and cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the finely grated cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
Gradually add the cold water to the mixture, stirring continuously until you form a dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Dust your hands and a clean work surface with a little flour. Take small portions of dough (about the size of a walnut) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the bottom of a glass or the back of a spoon, gently flatten each ball of dough into a wafer shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wafers are golden around the edges.
Remove the wafers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy your Cheddar and Chive Wafers as a savory snack or appetizer. They pair wonderfully with dips, soups, or can simply be enjoyed on their own.
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Grate the cheddar cheese finely to ensure it melts evenly throughout the wafers.
- Use fresh chives for the best flavor; dried chives may lack the same punch.
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a little bit of flour until it's workable.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
- Preheat your oven before baking the wafers to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
With minimal ingredients and simple steps, cheddar and chive wafers are a quick and easy recipe that delivers big on flavor. Perfect for when you're in a snacky mood or need something to impress guests, these wafers will surely become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best experience!
