Lunch: Cheese Snappy Wafers

Southern hostesses have long relied on cheese wafers to keep their party guests satiated.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, cubed
2 cups all-purpose flour
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 cups crisp rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in cheese, red pepper, and salt. Fold in cereal. Shape into 1-inch balls, and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each dough ball. Bake, in batches, 15 minutes. (Refrigerate remaining baking sheet while first batch is baking.)
