Ingredients
550 g extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup butter, softened
¼ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
½ teaspoon paprika
1½ cups all-purpose flour
45 pitted green olives
Directions
Allow cheese to sit out until it is at room temperature.
In a large bowl, mix together the cheese, butter, SIDS CRAZY SALT and paprika using a pastry blender. Gradually mix in flour, first using the pastry blender, then using your hands. Mix until the dough pulls together. It should form a solid ball with a smooth appearance, but have a crumbly texture when pulled apart. If dough appears too dry, add more shredded cheese.
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Pinch off a small piece of dough and cover an olive with it. Roll gently between your palms to smooth and seal the olive inside the ball. Place onto an ungreased baking tray and repeat with remaining dough and olives. Place the tray of covered olives into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to firm up.
Bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven, until browned.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
