Tex-Mex Cheese Crisps

First, I hope you had a wonderful time this Christmas and Santa brought you everything you've asked for. I wish your holidays continue to be fun and relaxing!

I made these little biscuits for the Christmas lunch in the office. Here are the ingredients I used:

- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp chilli powder

- 1 tsp garlic salt

- 1/2 tsp ground paprika

- 6 1/2 oz butter, chopped

- 1 egg, lightly beaten

- 6 1/2 oz Cheddar cheese, grated

Preheat the oven at 415F. Lightly brush two baking trays with melted butter.

Sift the flour, chilli powder, garlic salt and paprika into a large bowl. Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs (alternatively, you can use the food processor, which is what I did). Add the egg and cheese and stir until the mixture comes together. 

Turn onto a floured surface and gather together into a ball. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into shapes with a biscuit cutter. Place on the trays, allowing room for spreading. Bake for 12 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Leave on the trays for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy!
