Yield 48 wafers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 Cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 oz aged cheddar, grated
1 Cup AP flour
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Using a food processor or electric mixer, beat the butter until light and airy. Add the cheese and continue beating until the mixture is thoroughly blended. Add the flour, mustard, paprika and Worcestershire and beat slowly to make a thick, thoroughly blended batter. Place batter on a floured surface and roll into 3 or 4 logs about 1 1/4" in diameter. Wrap the rolls in wax paper or plastic and refrigerate several hours or overnight. To bake: preheat the oven to 400º. Cut rolls into slices of 1/8" to 1/4". Arrange, spaced 1" or so apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10 minutes or till the edges just begin to brown. Unlikely leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for three days.
