YIELDS 36 CRACKERS

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free mustard
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2½ cups Gluten-Free, Soy-Free Baking Mix
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup 1% milk
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. In large bowl, combine butter, oil, mustard, and Cheddar cheese; mix.

  3. Add Baking Mix, pepper, and cayenne pepper; mix until crumbly. Add enough milk to make a firm, slightly crumbly dough.

  4. Place dough on work surface; gently knead about 15 times.

  5. For each cracker, make three ½″ diameter balls of dough and place them in a stack. Flatten each stack with hands to make 1 thin circle of dough. Place on Silpat-lined cookie sheets; prick with a fork. Repeat with remaining dough.

  6. Bake 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown around edges. Carefully remove to wire rack to cool.
