On this weekâs episode weâre revisiting a delicious recipe using one of my favorite foods - cheese. Itâs milkâs leap to immortality and one of natureâs wonders. Weâre making toasted sesame cheese wafers. This segment is from an episode devoted to the wonders of this dairy delight.
For the wafers youâll need:
5 oz processed cheese spread
3 Tbs. butter
 cup flour
 tsp paprika
2 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 400. Sift the flour and paprika together, and then blend in the sesame seeds. Combine the cheese and butter in a bowl and cream together. Add the flour mixture and stir until well blended. The dough will be stiff. On a sheet of wax paper work the dough into a log about 6 and one half inches long and an inch and a half in diameter and wrap in the wax paper. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least an hour and up to one week. When chilled, unwrap the dough, slice thinly and bake for about 15 minutes, or until lightly brown around the edges.
Now on my NPR podcast this week weâre finally getting around to that brunch episode that we missed last fall. Donât miss it!
Weâve just launched a charming new tabletop collection at FelixPopuli.com. It has Valentines Day written all over it (well, not literallyâ) so be sure and have a look! Also, donât miss the Brini Maxwell auctions this week.
