Years ago I used to make 'crackers' from a log of brie, butter, and
flour, if I remember right. It was one of those recipes that was so
simple, I never bothered to write it down.

Seems like it was 1/2 pound of brie, 1/2 pound butter, and 2 cups
flour.

Blend; form into a log; chill for a couple hours. Slice in 1/4"
rounds, bake at 350. enjoy.

I always had one in the freezer that would come out to the counter for
an hour and be ready to slice.

Before I waste my brie- does that sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks,
Jim

Sounds very similar to the 'cheese straws' I make except with extra
sharp cheddar cheese. Although, the ratio I use for cheese straws is 1
pound of cheese, 1/2 pound butter, and 2 cups of flour. HTH.

Thanks Sky- I'll start there. I know I used to get 8oz wheels-
so "a wheel, a stick, and a cup" might well have been the 'recipe too
simple to forget'.

I have no idea what that recipe was, but if you ever figure it out...
please tell me! The thought of brie crackers appeals to me.

It is sad that Google becomes less and less helpful as more and more
folks just repeat existing sites & groups to make a few bucks on
advertising.

Hmm-- some toasted walnuts [pecans?] might fit right in on my second
try.

You're not helping here.<g> I was getting worse results because
I used brie as a search term.

You *are* helping me decide that 8oz, a stick, and a cup were the
proportions---- But now I've got to make a batch of Stilton, and a
batch of Gruyere. And I've only looked at 3 pages. . .<G>

I just got rid of 3 lbs of holiday belly-- this might slow the next
3 down a bit.
