Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

   Aproximativ 2 min.

2. 2

   In the bowl of a food processor, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and softened butter.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

3. 3

   Pulse until the mixture is creamy and well-blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Make sure the butter is properly softened to room temperature for easier blending.

4. 4

   Add the all-purpose flour from the dough group, salt, and paprika to the food processor.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

5. 5

   Pulse until the ingredients come together to form a crumbly dough.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

6. 6

   Add the crushed cornflakes and finely chopped almonds.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

7. 7

   Pulse just a few times to incorporate the additions without turning them to dust.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

   Nota bucătarului: You want to maintain some texture from the cornflakes and almonds.

8. 8

   Scoop out portions of the dough and roll them between your palms into 1-inch balls.

   Aproximativ 7 min.

9. 9

   Place the dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

10. 10

    Dip a fork into the dipping flour and gently press down on each ball, then press again at a 90-degree angle to create a crisscross pattern.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: The flour prevents the fork from sticking to the buttery dough.

11. 11

    Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the wafers are firm to the touch.

    Aproximativ 14 min.

12. 12

    Let the wafers cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

    Nota bucătarului: They will become crispier as they cool.
