Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup beer (preferably a light or amber ale)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
3. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Slowly pour in the beer while stirring the mixture until a soft dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more beer.
6. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
7. Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
8. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles, approximately 2-3 inches in length.
9. Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
11. Serve the cheddar beer triangles warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
