Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons Whole milk (plus more for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole milk and vanilla extract. Gradually pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead it gently until it forms a smooth ball.
Roll the dough out evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough into small squares or rectangles.
Place the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for topping. Lightly brush the tops of the crackers with a little milk, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over them.
Using a fork, prick each cracker a few times to prevent puffing during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
