Ingredients

• 240 grams All-purpose flour
• 5 grams Baking powder
• 3 grams Salt
• 60 grams Unsalted butter, cubed and cold
• 120 milliliters Water
• 15 milliliters Vegetable oil (for brushing)
• 5 grams Coarse sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.

Step 6

Roll the dough out into a thin sheet, approximately 1.5-2 mm thick. Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes.

Step 7

Transfer the cracker shapes to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

Step 8

Prick each cracker a few times with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the crackers lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
