Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ice-cold water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Drizzle in the ice-cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Divide the dough in half and flatten each portion into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to about 1/8-inch (3mm) thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out desired shapes for the crackers.
Place the crackers onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second disk of dough.
Using a fork, prick each cracker several times to prevent puffing during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.
