Round Pizza Stone– this thing works great for crackers, cookies, and pizza too.
Pizza cutter– it makes cutting the crackers a breeze, especially if you happen to have the inability to cut straight lines….
Parchment paper – this allows you to roll them even thinner and you can reuse the same sheet over and over again
Hand Made– Get over 100+ from scratch homemade recipes (this cracker recipe is from the book!)
Measure your dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl, including your favorite spices for flavoring.
Cut in the butter until the butter is about the size of a pea.
Add your liquid and mix until just combined. Dump out your cracker dough onto your lightly floured baking sheet or baking stone.
Roll thin and cut crackers into desired shapes. You can also make the crackers into fancy shapes with cookie cutters. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Some people like to roll the cracker dough between two sheets of parchment paper to get it super thin.
Bake for 1o minutes.
If you happen to have any left (which is unlikely) and need to store them, allow them to cool fully. Place inside an airtight container. A Mason jar with the canning lid and band tightened down works great and they’ll stay crispy for up to 5 days. (Probably longer but that’s the very longest they’ve lasted before we’ve eaten them all).
