Step 1

Sift together All-Purpose Flour (1 cup) , Salt (1 Tbsp) , and Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) . Set aside.

Step 2

Beat together Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) and Sharp Cheddar Cheese (2 cups) . Don't worry, it will come together into a butter cheese ball.

Step 3

With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture and continue to beat until dough forms into a ball. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead a few times to form into a uniformed dough ball.

Step 4

Wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge for about an hour.

Step 5

Before hour is up, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out until it is very thin, about a 1/8-inch thickness. Use a small cookie cutter to cut rounds and place them on a prepared bakings sheet. Using a fork, prick holes into the top of the crackers.

Step 7

Place in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but these are best the day of.
