Cheese Crackers

"Lethal. Devastating. Deadly little things if you’re watching your weight. You can’t have just one. The type of snack that calls out to you from wherever you locked it up: ‘go on, you can’t resist me…’ Because they are irresistible. Made from the cream cheese (rugelach) pastry – the easiest in the world, versatile, melting and flaking like a cross between puff and shortcrust. Three ingredients: flour, butter and cream cheese. Traditionally and originally filled with butter, sugar and cinnamon mix, they accommodate savoury just as well. I make them into swirls: roll out the pastry, roll it up with grated cheese, chill and slice. Just about the best cheese snack in the world."
