Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking sheet 
  • Parchment paper 
  • Toothpick

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Cup All-purpose Flour
  • 6 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsp Cold Water

Instructions
 

  • Place your grated cheese, flour, and salt in the food processor. Pulse the machine a few times to mix them well.
  • Add the cold butter pieces into the flour mixture now. Pulse until the mix looks like wet sand.
  • Pour in the cold water one tablespoon at a time. Pulse until large dough clumps start to form.
  • Gather the dough with your hands on a clean surface. Shape it into a flat, smooth square disk.
  • Wrap the dough tightly in plastic kitchen wrap. Chill it in the fridge for forty-five minutes.
  • Preheat your kitchen oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your baking sheet with clean parchment paper.
  • Roll the chilled dough into a very thin square sheet. It should be about one-eighth inch thick.
  • Cut the sheet into one-inch squares using a pizza cutter. Move the small squares to your baking sheet.
  • Poke a small hole in the center of each square. Use a toothpick or skewer for this step.
  • Bake for fifteen to twenty minutes until golden brown. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use a block of real cheese and grate it yourself.
  • Keep your butter and water very cold for best flakiness.
  • Roll the dough very thin so the crackers turn out crunchy.
  • Do not skip the chilling time in the refrigerator.
  • Watch the oven closely because small crackers can burn fast.
