HOLIDAY RECIPE: SLICE AND BAKE CHEDDAR CRACKERS
Adapted from a recipe originally published in Cook's Illustrated Magazine
Ingredients
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 teaspoon paprika 8 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces 3 tablespoons water PERFECT WITH COCKTAILS
Directions
1. To make the dough mix cheddar, flour, cornstarch, salt, cayenne, and paprika in a food processor until combined, about 30 seconds. Scatter cold butter pieces over the mixture and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand, about 20 seconds. Add water and mix until the
mixture forms a ball of dough, about 10 seconds. Do not overmix. Transfer dough to counter and divide in half.
Using your hands, roll each half of dough into a 10-inch log, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days). At this point the dough can be frozen for up to 1 month, just make sure to thaw it completely before slicing and baking.
2. Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Unwrap the dough logs and slice into ¼-inch-thick crackers. Place crackers on prepared sheets, spaced 1/2 inch apart.
3. Bake crackers until light golden around the edges, 22 to 26 minutes, switching and rotating baking sheets halfway through baking. Let crackers cool completely on sheets before serving. The crackers are best served the same day they are made.
Makes approximately 80 crackers.
HOLIDAY COCKTAIL: THE TUXEDO OLD FASHIONED
According to our Head Mixologist Brian Weber, this is perhaps our most requested cocktail recipe.
A traditional Old Fashioned is whiskey, bitters and sugar, but at the Club we swap the sugar for richer-flavored maple syrup. Pure maple syrup is essential in this recipe - imitation maple syrup (like Log Cabin) will ruin this cocktail.
Ingredients: 2 oz Maker ’ s Mark 46 Bourbon ¼ oz Pure Maple Syrup 2 Dashes Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters 1 Dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters 1 Orange Twist
Optional: Luxardo Cherries
Method: In an old fashioned glass add bitters, syrup and bourbon. Add ice to fill the glass. Stir to combine and chill.
With a vegetable peeler take a
“ shaving ” off the orange peel to create a twist. With the skin side facing the assembled cocktail fold the orange peel like a taco to express the oils over the drink. Add the orange peel to drink as garnish. Add cherries as additional garish, if desired.
