GF Parmesan Fricos
Ingredients
- Makes approximately 4 dozen 2-in crackers.
- 8oz wedge fresh Parmesan cheese
- 2 1/2 Tbl Better Batter Gluten Free Flour
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 3/4 tsp Herbs de Provence - or dried Italian seasoning
- parchment paper
- biscuit cutter or round ring mold - the one I used to be just over 2 inches in diameter
Notes: When looking for a Parmesan cheese to use, only consider the fresh kind that you grate by hand. Pre-grated cheese has anti-caking ingredients which inhibit the ability to melt well. I happened to use Bel Gioioso with great success but taste the cheese first - it should not be too overly salty or the crackers will not taste good.
Instructions
Preheat, Grate and Mix. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grate the Parmesan on the small holes of a box grater. In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan, flour, dried herbs, and pepper. Use your fingers to mix well, fluffing and distributing the flour all over the cheese.
Shape the Cheese Mixture. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit your cookie sheet. Using the biscuit cutter as a size and shape guide, place a scant tablespoon of the cheese mixture into circle of the cutter and carefully spread with your fingers.
Lift the cutter off the shaped cheese mixture and repeat, leaving about 2 inches between each pile of cheese. I was able to get a dozen cheese mixture piles spread on one cheese sheet.
Bake and Cool.
