White Cheddar Cracker Croutons

Ingredients:
2 Cup Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Dry mustard
3/4 Cup Cold butter
1/2 Cup Grated white cheddar cheese
5 Tablespoon Cold water; up to 6
27 1/2 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cayenne, salt, mustard, and butter. Mix
until mixture resembles a coarse crumb−like mixture. Add the cheese and mix
well. Add the water a tablespoon at a time and let sit for 1 minute. Either
using a fork or your hands, carefully press the mixture together forming a
soft ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured
surface. Roll the dough out on the floured surface into a rectangle 16 by 12
inches in diameter and 1/8−inch thick. Cut the dough into 3−inch by 1−inch
strips. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown
and crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool
completely.
