Cheddar - Parmesan Crackers image

A recipe by Laura Werlin, and found at Leite's Culinaria. These cheesy, buttery gems will likely become a mainstay in your repertoire. Not only are they crispy, rich, and well, addictive, they can be partially made up to a month in advance. That's because once the dough is made, it can be frozen and simply "cut to order" as you need it. Just be sure to freeze it in small portions so that you don't have to defrost it all at once. Although these crackers are great plain, you can draw on the age-old "apples and cheddar" theme by topping them with a dollop of Apple-Pear Butter.

Time 20m

Yield 3 dozen (approximately)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
2 ounces parmesan cheese, finely grated
3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons water, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, place all the ingredients except the butter and water. Pulse 5 times. Add the butter and pulse again until the butter pieces are the size of small peas. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse just until the dough holds together. If the dough is still crumbly, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
  • Turn the dough out onto a large piece of waxed paper. Roll the dough into a log, 9 to 10 inches long, and square off the ends. Refrigerate, well wrapped, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days or freeze it for up to 1 month. (You may want to cut the log in half or in thirds to freeze if you think you will want to defrost a smaller amount at a time.).
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • To make the crackers, cut the log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet 1 inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crackers are a light golden color. Turn the crackers and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until they are golden around the edges.
  • Cool on a rack. Serve at room temperature.

These crackers were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some butter or oil to the dough next time.

Not a fan. The crackers were bland and didn't have much flavor. I think I'll stick to my old cracker recipe.

These were easy to make and delicious! I used sharp cheddar cheese and they had a nice kick to them. I also added some garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor.

These crackers were a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise they were good. I think I'll try making them again with less salt next time.
