DESCRIPTION
Savory Shortbread
SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Pizza Focaccia Flatbreads
INSTRUCTIONS
This couldn't be easier. Vary the spice to suit your taste... garlicky crackers, oregano, black pepper?
1 stick butter
1 cup AP flour
1 cup GRATED parmesan cheese
scant teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
Combine ingredients in food processor or mixer. Mix just to combine - dough will come together in a ball.
Roll into 1 - 1 1/2 inch log. Refrigerate until firm. Slice into thin rounds - about 1/4 inch thick. Plce on ungreased cooie sheet. Bake 12 minutes at 350 - then 3 minutes at 500. Edges should be slightly brown - crackers set and firm.
So many variations. Brush the tops with cream for a shiny cracker. Add seeds, coarse salt, black pepper to tops.
Very very nice as an appetizer with drinks and spreads.
