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
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
- 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.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- 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.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles, approximately 2-3 inches in length.
- Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the cheddar beer triangles warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
