Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 85 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 15 grams Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for flavor and color)
- 30 milliliters Ice water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a food processor, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, all-purpose flour, cold cubed butter, Dijon mustard, salt, and paprika (if using). Pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough begins to come together into a cohesive ball. You may not need all the water, so add it gradually.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gather it into a smooth disc. Wrap the disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness on a lightly floured surface. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes.
Transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Prick the center of each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. The crackers will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy them as a snack or serve them with your favorite dips or soups.
