Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons Butter (cold, unsalted)
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika (optional, for added flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, cold butter, salt, and smoked paprika (if using). Pulse until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Add the Sriracha sauce to the mixture and pulse a few more times to incorporate.
Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently to form a cohesive ball.
Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness using a rolling pin. Use a knife or a small cookie cutter to cut the dough into desired shapes (such as squares or rectangles).
Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one. Use a toothpick or fork to poke a small hole in the center of each cracker to prevent them from puffing during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
