Bullwhip Cheez Its

Your favorite crunchy, cheesy, salty cracker plus some deep umami heat from Bullwhip Kelp Hot Sauce.

Ingredients 

• 2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
•  ¼ cup butter
•  1 t salt
•  1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 T Bullwhip Hot Sauce

Preparations

1. Using a paddle attachment combine shredded cheese, butter, and salt in a stand up mixer.
2. Add the flour and slowly mix until pea sized balls form.

4. Pat the dough into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

6. Divide the dough into two equally sized pieces. Using a rolling pin, roll each piece into a very thin rectangle (about ⅛-inch thick).
7. Cut the rectangles into 1-inch squares, and poke the center of each cracker with a chopstick.
8. Transfer the crackers to a parchment lined baking sheet using a spatula.
9. Bake at 375 for 15 to 17 minutes, or until puffed and golden around the edges.
10. Immediately move the crackers to wire racks to cool.
