Homemade Cheese Crackers Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon of salt

How to Make Cheese Crackers

Step 1:

Start by preheating the oven to 350F.

Step 2:

In a large bowl using a hand mixer or bowl of a standing mixer, add the cheese, butter, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3:

Add the flour and mix well. Pour the ice water one tablespoon at a time, mixing after every addition. It should hold together but crumble apart when you break it up using your hands. You can add a little more of ice water if needed.

Step 4:

Divide the dough into two halves and pack together into discs. Cover with parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Step 5:

Place the dough on your work surface and roll it out to 1/8 of an inch. Pinch the ends if there are any cracks.

Step 6:

Cut into 1 inch squares and poke holes in the middle of each square for ventilation.

Step 7:

Place the crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place inside the preheated oven and bake for 13 minutes or until golden brown.
