Time 50m

Yield 100 crackers, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
8 ounces cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Pulse the flour, butter, cheese, salt, and pepper together using a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Pulse in 3 to 4 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, and only enough so that the dough forms a ball and rides the blade.
  • Remove, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Roll the dough out on a cookie sheet to 1/8-inch thickness. (If you roll it thicker, it will still work, but the crackers won't be quite as crunchy.).
  • Using a pizza cutter slice dough into 1 inch squares or using a cookie cutter cut out as many crackers as possible.
  • Bake at 350 F until golden and crisp - 15 to 20 minutes.

Saw this made on a Foodtv show and thought it would be fun to make with DS. We tried the other day and he had a glorious time. They are quite tasty too. Make these as spicy or salty as you want. Change the seasonings for totally different snack. Please note that they can quickly go from baked to burnt.
