Heritage Cheese Dudes Guide (Step-by-Step) – Vintage...

Ingredients

• • 1 ⅞ lb aged cheddar
• • ⅞ cup unsalted butter
• • ⅞ cup puffed rice cereal
• • 1 ⅞ tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut cheddar into 1-inch cubes using a vintage grater. The irregular texture helps bind with butter.

2. 2

   Freeze cubed butter 15-20 minutes. Cold butter creates a flaky, shortcrust texture.

3. 3

   In a 1950s porcelain bowl, combine grated cheese and chilled butter. Use a wooden spoon to press until no visible streaks remain.

4. 4

   On floured parchment, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use vintage cookie cutters (turkey, heart) to shape.

5. 5

   Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Bake 12-15 minutes until golden. Let cool completely before serving.
