Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Sweet onion, finely minced
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and granulated sugar.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the cold butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles a coarse meal.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium warmth and sauté the finely minced onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly before adding to the dough.
In another small bowl, beat the egg with water and add to the dry ingredients along with the sautéed onion. Mix until the dough forms a cohesive yet slightly sticky ball.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently a few times, then roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a pastry cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 2-inch squares or your desired cracker shape.
Arrange the crackers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.
Sprinkle the crackers lightly with additional sugar and a touch of ground black pepper for a sweet-savory finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye to avoid over-browning.
Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
