Stir the dry ingredients into a bowl and then cut in the butter to
resemble cornmeal. Blend in the cheddar cheese with a fork until well
blended. Mix in the remaining ingredients and shape into 1 1/2 to 2-inch
rolls. Chill for 30 to 40 minutes in the refrigerator and then slice each
roll into slices about 1/4-inch thick. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet
at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and let
cool. Store the cooled crackers in airtight containers in a cool place.
They will keep for several weeks this way and if you freeze them, they
will last indefinitely.
