Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Sweet onion, finely minced
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the cold butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles a coarse meal.

Step 4

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium warmth and sauté the finely minced onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly before adding to the dough.

Step 5

In another small bowl, beat the egg with water and add to the dry ingredients along with the sautéed onion. Mix until the dough forms a cohesive yet slightly sticky ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently a few times, then roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a pastry cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares or your desired cracker shape.

Step 8

Arrange the crackers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crackers lightly with additional sugar and a touch of ground black pepper for a sweet-savory finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye to avoid over-browning.

Step 11

Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
