CHEDDAR-PARMESAN CRACKERS

These cheesy, buttery gems will likely become a mainstay in your repertoire. Not only are they crispy, rich and, well, addictive, they can be partially made up to a month in advance. That's because once the dough is made it can be frozen and simply "cut to order" as you need it. Just be sure to freeze it in small portions so that you don't have to defrost it all at once. Although these crackers are great plain, you can draw on the age-old "apples and cheddar" theme by topping them with a dollop of apple or pear butter.

Time 2h30m

Yield 3 dozen crackers, serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces cheddar, coarsely grated
2 ounces Parmesan, finely grated
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons water, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, place all ingredients except the butter and water. Pulse 5 times. Add the butter and pulse again until the butter pieces are the size of BBs. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse just until the dough holds together. If the dough is still crumbly, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
  • Turn the dough out onto a large piece of waxed paper. Roll the dough into a log, 9 to 10 inches long, and square off the ends. Refrigerate, well wrapped, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Or freeze it for up to 1 month. (You may want to cut the log in half or in thirds to freeze if you think you will want to defrost a smaller amount at a time.)
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To make the crackers, cut the log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet 1-inch apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crackers are a light golden color. Turn the crackers and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until they are golden around the edges. Cool on a rack. Serve at room temperature.

Provided by Claire Nolan

Categories     Snacks

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Using a hand mixer or standing mixer, combine cheese, butter, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Once combined, mix in the flour and add the ice water one tablespoon at a time.
  • The dough should hold together but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a little more ice water.
  • Separate dough into two halves and pack together into discs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Roll out dough to ⅛ of an inch (½ cm), pinching the cracks on the ends.
  • Cut into 1 inch x 1 inch (2 ½ x 2 ½ cm) squares and pierce a hole in the middle of each square for ventilation during baking.
  • Place the separated crackers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use cold ingredients. This will help the dough stay firm and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Grate the cheese finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the dough.
  • Add a little bit of cayenne pepper. This will give the crackers a slight kick.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crackers tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Cut the crackers into thin slices. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the crackers cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up.
