"Chee-Tos"?
Apr. 12th, 2010 06:29 pmSo I had to go look for this, because...well. Chee-tos are an amazingly guilty pleasure involving more carcinogenic orange junk and saturated fat that are just...not good eats, right? So these are baking right now.
Homemade Cheesy Poofs
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (about 1/4 lb, or +/- 115 mg)
1/2 cup (60g by weight) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (60g by weight) butter or margarine, softened well
pinch salt
In a bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. I had to knead a bit to get it to hold together. Roll into 3/4-in (2 cm). balls. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 F (205 C) degrees for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
Annnnd they're done. (It's like food TV magic! *whirls to oven where the finished food is*)
Are they anything like Chee-tos? No. I added garlic powder and a little cayenne pepper, and I imagine you could add anything you want, really, or play with different cheeses like shredded (not grated) parmesan, etc.
