🥘 Ingredients

7 items

• 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

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth, but avoid overworking.

6. Roll out the dough to a thin sheet, about 2mm (1/16 inch) thick.

7. 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.

8. Prick each cracker a few times with a fork to prevent them from puffing up during baking.

9. If desired, sprinkle a small amount of flaky sea salt on top of the crackers for extra flavor.

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

11. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container.
