    Pecan-Cheese Biscuits


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup butter at room temperature
    1 1/2 cups grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tsp salt
    Cayenne pepper to taste
    1 cup finely chopped pecans

    Recipe



    Combine the butter and cheeses in a food processor and process until smooth. Sift the flour, salt, and cayenne directly into the food processor and process until the mixture begins to form a ball. Add the pecans and pulse just until the pecans are mixed in. The mixture will be very soft. Divide the dough into three equal parts and place each on a piece of wax paper. Fold the paper over the mixture and roll into logs about 1 inch in diameter. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 hour. Roll the chilled dough into a more regular round shape if desired. Unwrap the logs immediately prior to baking and slice into rounds 1/4 inch thick. Place 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350F oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.

    Makes about 48 biscuits.
