Cheese pie crisps are like one of those light snacks that you can eat constantly and without realizing, you’ve finished the whole bowl of it!

These cheese crisps are made out of a pie-like dough. Why I say it’s like pie is because the method of making the dough itself is like pie dough. The basics of making pie dough is by adding cold butter and water to some flour. It’s a very simple recipe that you can make any time at home with just a few simple ingredients. You don’t even need a bowl to make this, just a bench scraper and that’s it!

In this cheese crisps recipe, you will be required to do lamination as it will add flakey layers to your crisps.

The shapes of the cheese crisps are just small squares but you can always change them up to any kind of fun shape that you want. And since this cheese crisps recipe I made is savoury, you can always replace it with sugar to make them a sweet snack instead. It’s very versatile and you can make it however you want!

Cheese pie crisps is a type of snack that you can make for a get-together or just for you to snack on yourself. It doesn’t take up too much of your time and you can even whip these cheese crisps in 30-minutes time! When it’s complete, you can serve up to 3-5 people!

Additional Notes from Author:

  • Laminating the dough creates flakey layers in your crisps.
  • You can replace the savoury ingredients with sweets.
  • You can shape the dough however you want.
