Yield Makes 10 to 12 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 lb sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (preferably in a food processor; 5 cups)
1 large egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1/4 cup brown or yellow mustard seeds
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Blend together butter, cheese, and yolk in a food processor until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until just combined. (If you have a small processor, divide butter mixture after blending and pulse with remaining ingredients in 2 batches.) Transfer dough (it will be very soft) to a bowl and chill, covered, 15 minutes.
  • Halve dough, then shape each half into a 12-inch log on a lightly floured surface. Wrap logs in wax paper and foil, then chill until firm, at least 4 hours.
  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap logs and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a sharp thin knife, then arrange slices about 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake in batches, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until pale golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer crackers to racks to cool, about 5 minutes. Line sheets with clean parchment between batches.
