Ingredients
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a food processor fitted with the standard blade, add 1 cup flour, 4 tablespoons butter pieces, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 2 cups shredded cheese. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Form the dough: While pulsing, add 2 tablespoons cold water one tablespoon at a time until dough just comes together into a ball. Don't overmix.
- Chill the dough: Remove dough from processor, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Prepare for baking: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll and cut: On a lightly floured surface, roll chilled dough very thin, about ⅛ inch thick or less. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers. Cut into 1 inch squares
- Add center holes: Using a toothpick, poke a small hole in the center of each cracker.
- Arrange for baking: Place crackers on prepared baking sheet, spacing them close together but not touching, as they don't expand much during baking.
- Bake until crispy: Bake for 17-18 minutes, until crackers are lightly browned on the bottom and firm to the touch.
- Cool completely: Let crackers cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely before storing.
