Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 3 grams Salt
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, cubed and cold
- 120 milliliters Water
- 15 milliliters Vegetable oil (for brushing)
- 5 grams Coarse sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Roll the dough out into a thin sheet, approximately 1.5-2 mm thick. Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes.
Transfer the cracker shapes to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Prick each cracker a few times with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
Brush the tops of the crackers lightly with vegetable oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crackers are golden and crisp.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
