Level: Easy
Serves: 16
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons Butter, unsalted at room temperature
- 4 cups Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup All purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Ice cold water, or more if needed
Preparation
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the butter, cheese and salt until well blended. Add flour and mix well; it will be crumbly and dry.
Add enough ice water to achieve a paste-like consistency and until it sticks completely. I used about 4 tbsp.
Place dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Take the dough out of the fridge and cut it in half. On parchment or a clean surface, roll out the dough until it is about 1/8″ thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, like me, cut strips 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick one way, then the other way to make squares.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 13 to 15 minutes. They are best when they are a little brown because they are more crunchy.
Tasty and delicious cheese crackers. Enjoy!
