Ingredients
- 1 cup (grated) sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (finely chopped) walnuts
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons (for frying) vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sharp cheddar cheese, finely chopped walnuts, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 2
Using your hands or a pastry blender, cut the unsalted butter into the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Step 3
Add the milk gradually, mixing until the ingredients come together to form a cohesive dough. If the dough is too dry, add an extra teaspoon of milk at a time until it holds together.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a thick patty about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook the patties for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or alongside a crisp salad for a light meal.
