How to make Homemade Spicy Cheez-Its
I don’t recommend using pre-packaged shredded sharp cheddar cheese, it’s coated with that powdery weird stuff. So buy block cheese and shred it yourself. This recipe is quick to come together in the food processor. Which means very little cleanup. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Shred the cheese in your food processor. Add the butter, flour, salt, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder and pulse until you achieve a coarse crumb. Check out our Sausage Balls! Add the milk until the dough forms a ball. You might need to add a drizzle of additional milk. With a rolling pin roll out the dough until it’s about 1/8″ inch thick. Cut into 1″ squares. I used a pizza cutter. Don’t judge me on the lines not being perfectly straight. I have never been able to cut, draw or walk a straight line. Place the cheese crackers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and using a toothpick poke a hole in the center of each one. Bake for 12 minutes or until they just start to turn golden brown. Enjoy! These homemade cheese crackers are best eaten the day you make them. The longer they sit the softer they become. Store any leftovers in an airtight container. These would be perfect for a Game Day party! Try our Spinach Dip!
