CHEESE WAFERS

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl, blend together butter or margarine and flour. Mix in the Cheddar cheese, salt, red pepper, hot pepper sauce, and pecans. Form the dough into a roll, wrap in parchment paper, and refrigerate over night.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice dough into very thin wafers. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp.

WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE WAFERS

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat butter, cheese, salt, red pepper and garlic powder with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Gradually add flour, beating just until combined. Stir in pecans.
• Divide dough into 4 equal parts; roll each into 10-inch log. Wrap logs in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. Unwrap logs; cut each into 24 pieces. Flatten to 2-inch rounds. On cookie sheets, place rounds 1 inch apart.
• Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

DUTCH CHEESE WAFERS

Steps:

• Cream together cream cheese, butter, sugar and vanilla.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
• Add to creamed mixture.
• Chill 45 minutes.
• Form mixture into balls (teaspoon).
• Press thumb in centre of ball and place cherry in depression.
• Bake at 350°F on ungreased cookie sheet 12 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden.

CHEESE WAFERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, cayenne, and salt in a large shallow bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add the cheese and rub into the flour-butter mixture gently with your fingertips until a small bit of dough, when pinched together, will hold its shape. Roll into 3/4-inch balls, place 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, then flatten into rounds 1/4-inch thick by pressing with a flat-bottomed glass that has been dipped into flour. (You'll have to keep dipping the glass into flour to keep the dough from sticking to it.) Bake uncovered 10 to 12 minutes until pale tan. Transfer the wafers at once to wire racks to cool, then store airtight.

HACHEE (DUTCH BEEF STEW)

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pot over medium-high heat and cook beef stew meat until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, over, and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet and cook onions over medium-low heat until they are very soft and are starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add sauteed onions and uncooked onions to the pot with the meat and simmer for 45 more minutes. Season with beef bouillon.
• When meat is cooked through, season with vinegar, sugar, and curry powder. Remove 1 tablespoon of liquid and stir together with potato starch in a small bowl to make a slurry. Add slurry back to the stew to thicken. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.

CHEESE WAFERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat together butter, cheese and cayenne pepper until thoroughly blended.
• Add flour, beating until blended.
• Shape dough into log about 9 1/2 inch long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Roll log in sesame seeds, coating completely.
• Wrap and refrigerate until firm, several hours or overnight.
• To bake wafers, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut chilled dough into 1/4 inch slices.
• Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Press a pecan half in centre of each, if using.
• Bake 12-14 minutes or until edges and bottoms are golden.
• Remove wafers from baking sheets, cool on racks.
