Ingredients
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional, for a slight kick)
- 2 tablespoons Ice water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine shredded sharp cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, diced cold butter, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough begins to come together. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and shape it into a flat disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to slightly firm up.
Step 5
Once chilled, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Step 6
Using a small cookie cutter (or a knife to cut squares), cut out bite-sized crackers. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each cracker.
Step 7
Optional: Use a toothpick or skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each cracker for a traditional look.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp.
Step 9
Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 10
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
