This easy cheese cracker recipe will leave the store bought crackers in the dust!
We have one more week until school starts and with school comes the packing of brown bag lunches. Packing a lunch for a picky eater gets tricky and redundant. But one food group that always gets eaten is crackers! This week the Sunday Supper crew is sharing our favorite lunchbox recipes so hopefully you’ll find a lot of inspiration for your lunchbox packing.
My kids love those little fish crackers, but I knew I could make the crackers for way less money and with much better ingredients. Go to your cupboard and just throw out the box of cheese crackers you have in there. They don’t even come close to the absolute divine deliciousness of these crackers. And… these are super, super simple! I cut the crackers out and let my 5 year old have a good old time putting them on the baking sheets. Although, I accidentally rolled my dough way too thick so they were pretty easy to handle. I would make sure to roll the dough as thin as you can get it for more of a crispy cracker. This one recipe got me two sheets full of crackers so if you roll thin, you will get more mileage out of the recipe.
- 1 cup flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 Tablespoons cold butter, cut in to small pieces
- 8 ounces of grated cheese, I used mild cheddar and Romano
- Water
- Pulse flour, salt, pepper and baking powder in a food processor to combine.
- Add butter and cheese and pulse until mixture looks like coarse cornmeal.
- Add water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, just until a dough forms.
- Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for a few hours.
- Unwrap dough and roll out very thin, about ⅛ inch.
- Cut dough in to squares or desired shapes and place shapes on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 13-18 minutes or until golden and crisp.
