Ingredients
  

For the Crackers
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese finely grated
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour or gluten-free blend
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter cold
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt adjust for lower sodium options
Optional Flavorings

  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika for smoky depth
  • 1 tablespoon Honey for sweet-savory twist

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Pastry cutter
  • Plastic wrap
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheet
  • Wire Rack
  • Fork

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the dough by combining cheddar cheese, flour, butter, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until crumbly and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll the chilled dough to 1/8 inch thick and cut into 1-inch squares. Poke holes in each square to prevent puffing.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes for crispy crackers. Use freshly grated cheese for best results.
