These are one of my favorite snacks and I made them this holiday season to accompany the bottles of wine we gave as gifts. Be warned %u2013 it is time consuming but well worth it. This recipe is very good just like it is; although on my second batch I added a few sloshes of beer %u2013 not only for the leavening factor, but it went through my pastry press more easily. We like a little %u201Ckick%u201D, so I also added ½ tsp. ground mustard and upped the cayenne by ¼ tsp. Next time, I might add ½ tsp. garlic powder too. Using good quality sharp cheddar cheese is key, and my KitchenAid w/dough hook worked great.
