I have a secret. A fatty, delicious secret. The secret is a recipe which was given to me by my mother, and is originally from Neva Kloepper. If you want a hearty (and I mean hearty!) snack to make for yourself– or to take to a party– read on.
Cheddar Nut Wafers by Neva Kloepper
1/2 lb. sharp or medium cheddar cheese, shredded
1 stick soft margarine
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped fine
1/4 cup minced raw onion
Mix all the above ingredients in a large bowl.
1 cup flour
Add and mix well using hands (For a less greasy taste and texture, use 2 cups flour)
Using your hands, make dough into cylinders about 1 and 1/2 inch in diameter. Chill in freezer for 15-30 minutes. Slice cylinders into wafer ~1/8 to 1/4 inch thick with a sharp knife (the quicker the slice, the more likely they’ll come out clean instead of smooshed). Bake on lightly greased baking sheet in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes like 45 wafers. Serve hot or cold (I prefer hot– they reheat great in microwave). Store in a sealed container.
