Pepper Jack Corn Crackers
Prep time: 20 minutes
Chill time: several hours
Cook time: 10 minutes
1 cup flour
1 cup masa (corn flour)
2 cups shredded Jack cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon each: onion powder and a Mexican chile lime seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl with a pastry blender until dough starts to come together. Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead several times to form a soft dough. Shape into a 2-inch in diameter roll and cover tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate until very firm. (Recipe may be prepared up to a week ahead at this point.) Preheat oven to 400°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut dough into 1/8-inch thick slices and place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 3 dozen crackers.
