Ingredients

• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, finely grated
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Water, cold

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, xanthan gum, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Pulse until the mixture is well combined.

Step 3

Add the cubed butter to the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

While the processor is running, slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper and flatten it into a disk. Place another piece of parchment on top and roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into small squares, roughly 1 inch by 1 inch. Transfer the cut dough to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Use the tines of a fork to prick holes in the center of each cracker to prevent them from puffing up during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container for up to a week to keep them fresh.
