Time 2h40m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup shredded Ivanhoe Extra Old Cheddar
½ large fresh jalapeno, seeded and chopped coarsely
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon dry mustard
¼ teaspoon pepper
⅓ cup Gay Lea Butter, cold and cubed
3 tablespoons ice water, or as needed

Steps:

  • In food processor, pulse cheese and jalapeno together until finely chopped. Add flour, mustard and pepper. Pulse just to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with butter the size of peas. Pour in 3 tablespoons (45mL) of ice water. Pulse just until dough starts to hold together, adding up to 1 tablespoon (15mL) more water if dough seems dry. Shape into disc. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, 2 hours or for up to 24 hours. (Disc can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in fridge before rolling.)
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Roll dough to 1/4-inch (5mm) thickness, dusting with flour to prevent sticking. Using 2-inch (5cm) cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Transfer to parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake in centre of oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool completely.
