Provided by OceanIvy

Categories     Breads

Time 35m

Yield 40-50 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese, finely grated
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup water (approx.)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • In large bowl or food processor,cut butter into the flour until the mix resembles coarse meal.
  • Add cheese& egg yolk,mix well.
  • Add just enough water to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball.
  • (Texture will be somewhat crumbly,but dough will hold together when pressed) Divide dough into 2 equal portions for rolling.
  • On floured surface,roll each into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cut out individual crackers about 2 inches across with cookie cutter or sharp knife.
  • Place them on ungreased baking sheet,& prick each 2 or 3 times with a fork.
  • Bake 10 minutes,& turn the crackers over.
  • Bake another 5-10 minutes,or until medium brown.
  • Let them cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your crackers. Choose a cheese that has a strong flavor and that melts well, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
  • Grate the cheese finely: This will help the cheese to distribute evenly throughout the crackers and prevent them from becoming too clumpy.
  • Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to keep the crackers flaky and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the crackers tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to firm it up and make it easier to roll out.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

These easy cheese crackers are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite toppings.
