Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Water (cold)
- 0.5 teaspoons Flaky sea salt (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and mix gently with a fork until the dough starts coming together. If the dough feels too dry, add cold water one tablespoon at a time until the dough is cohesive and slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth, but avoid overworking.
Roll out the dough to a thin sheet, about 2mm (1/16 inch) thick.
Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes (typically squares or rectangles). Transfer the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
Prick each cracker a few times with a fork to prevent them from puffing up during baking.
If desired, sprinkle a small amount of flaky sea salt on top of the crackers for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
