Cheese Wafers
Far superior to the expensive crackers you buy, these classic round Cheese Wafers are so much better homemade! Discover the difference! You can make these up and just keep them in the refrigerator until ready to bake (in less than 10 minutes).
You can buy grated or pre-shredded cheese if you’re short on time, however, we recommend freshly grating the cheese since cheese is the star ingredient; it makes a difference in the taste. You can grate by hand or use a food processor. Make sure your cheese is cold and firm to grate more easily.
This recipe makes four dozen bite-size cheese wafers. We like to smear with a soft cheese and pepper jelly.

In this recipe it did not specify what kind of flour to use, self rising or all purpose. It didn't have baking powder in it so I assumed you use self rising flour. Is that what you use?
