Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup scooped and lightly packed Blue Diamond Almond Flour, Finely Sifted

  • 1/2 cup gluten free all-purpose baking flour

  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives

  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse grind pepper

  • 1/4 slightly heaping teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

  • 6 oz. (1 1/2 cups packed) coarsely shredded sharp or extra sharp Cheddar

  • cheese*

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

  • *May substitute a naturally smoked Gouda, Gruyere or Jarlsberg cheese, or use a mixture. It’s a great way to use up small bits of cheese you might have in your fridge.

Directions

  1. 1

    Stir together flours, chives, salt and pepper in a large bowl then stir in cheese. Add butter and mix with a fork or pastry blender until butter is in slightly smaller pieces.

  2. 2

    Stir in just enough ice water to make dough stick together when pressed between your fingers. Gather into a ball and flatten slightly to form a disc; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Place on a board coated lightly with almond flour and flatten to 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 4 pieces then stack and press together to compress. Shape into a disc again, cover and refrigerator for at least 30 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Repeat flattening, cutting and chilling twice more. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Roll dough 1/4-inch thick on a board lightly coated with both flours. Cut into thin strips, long or short - whatever you prefer. Place on baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet.
