Cheddar Pennies/Crackers image

This is from The Food Network Kitchens Cookbook, chosen for QueenB, for the August 2009 Cookbook Swap. This recipe is different from the 2 already posted, and looks to be a tasty appy or snack. Toppings may be caraway, fennel, or other whole seeds; fresh dill, thyme, or rosemary; coarse salt; cracked pepper; black onion seeds I strongly suggest using a food processor instead of a mixer -- batter is VERY stiff,
