Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened Ensure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons cold water Add gradually until the dough forms.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated cheddar cheese, softened butter, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough forms. You want it to be moist but not sticky.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick.
  4. Use a fish-shaped cookie cutter to cut out your crackers, or create different shapes if desired.
  5. Place the cutouts onto a baking sheet and consider sprinkling extra cheese or seasonings on top for added flavor.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake the crackers for about 10-15 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Cooling
  1. Let the crackers cool on a wire rack before serving to achieve the perfect crunch.

Notes

To store, keep the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. For longer storage, freeze the unbaked dough.
