| Finely grated sharp cheddar cheese | 2 1/2 Ounce , packed (Cracker Barrel) | |
| Flour | 2 1/2 Ounce (1/2 cup) | |

Directions
GETTING READY
1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat and set aside.
MAKING
3. In a bowl, combine the cheddar, flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Swirl around with your fingers to distribute evenly.
4. Add the cubed butter and using your fingertips quickly mix it into the flour mixture. You don’t want to melt the butter.
5. Once the big butter pieces are broken down, add egg and mix until combined. Lightly knead the crumbly mixture but do not overwork.
6. On floured surface, pat, and roll the dough to about 1/8 inch thick sheet. Using a pizza cutter, cut into long strips (about 1-inch thick) and twist them from end to end onto the baking sheet.
7. Pop in oven and bake for 10 minutes or until puffed, crisp and light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
SERVING
8. Serve and enjoy!
