Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix almond flour, salted butter or ghee and an egg together in a bowl until well-mixed.
- Place dough onto a sheet of parchment paper.
- Press dough down and cover with a second sheet of parchment paper.
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough out until it reaches a thickness of approximately 1/6"-1/8" (3 mm -4 mm). For a crispier cracker, thin dough out a little extra.
- Remove top sheet of parchment paper, and use a pizza cutter to slice dough into approximately 1"x1" squares (25 mm x 25 mm)
- Sprinkle salt on top of the dough, and gently press into surface of dough.
- Use the top sheet of parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Move squares to the baking sheet, ensuring that there is some space between each square.
- Bake dough for 12-16 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. For crispier crackers, you can bake an additional minute or two. NOTE: cook time varies greatly depending on your oven and the thickness. It's best to watch the crackers closely so they do not burn.
- Store in an air-tight container for 4-5 days at room temperature. These are best enjoyed in the first few days, when they are the crispiest.

- Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste and texture of your crackers. Use high-quality, gluten-free flour and butter for the best results.

- Roll the Dough Evenly: Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to an even thickness. This will ensure that the crackers bake evenly.
- Cut the Dough Evenly: Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the dough into even squares or rectangles. This will help the crackers bake evenly.
- Bake the Crackers Until Golden Brown: Bake the crackers in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Let the Crackers Cool Completely: Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing. This will help them to crisp up and firm up.
