Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold)
  • 1/3 cup cold water (plus additional as needed)
  • table salt (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl.
  • Using your hands, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Add water and lightly knead the dough together to form a ball.
  • Cover bowl and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Roll the dough to as close to 1/8" as you can get. (I did some thicker crackers and they didn't come out as well.)
  • Use cookie cutters, a ravioli cutter, or a butter knife to cut dough into tiny shapes (hexagons, squares, or whatever you'd like).
  • Place cut dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or a Silpat, leaving a tiny bit of space between each piece.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the crackers are just beginning to brown on the bottom.
  • Turn the oven off and crack the door open.
  • Leave the crackers in the oven to cool for another twenty minutes.
  • Sprinkle cooled crackers with salt.
