Plain sharp cheddar cheese has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid sharp cheddar cheese, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Butter is almost all fat and has no fiber, so the small amount here (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving) leaves very little residue. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Combine the grated cheddar, flour, butter, fine sea salt, cayenne, and garlic powder in a food processor. Pulse in 10–12 short bursts until the mixture resembles coarse, slightly clumpy sand with no large butter pieces visible.
With the processor running, drizzle in the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, stopping as soon as the dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides — it should hold when pressed between your fingers without crumbling. Do not over-process.
