GLUTEN-FREE BUTTER CRACKERS



Gluten-Free Butter Crackers image

My husband just hasn't found a good cracker since going gluten-free, and he loved his butter crackers! I adapted this recipe from several different ones I was able to find on the web. Now I have to control what my non-GF kids eat so that dad will have some for the next day! These are not light and flaky, but the taste is definitely there! Welcome back peanut butter and crackers, cheese and crackers, plain crackers for nomming on! Also, I would expect you could add seasonings like garlic or sprinkle with Parmesan instead of salt, and kick it up a notch.

MOCK MATZO / GLUTEN-FREE NON-GEBROKTS MATZAH CRACKERS



Mock Matzo / Gluten-Free Non-Gebrokts Matzah Crackers image

This recipe is for a matzo substitute for gluten-free folks. Though they aren't "kosher matzo" (matzah shmura) for Passover due to not containing any of the 5 grains that matzo are supposed to be made of, they are made of Kosher for Pesach ingredients so they can be used for other purposes, such as enjoying charoset and maror sandwiches or snacking on during the week of Passover. Don't expect them to taste or have the texture of regular matzo - They don't. But they are still pleasant tasting (no bread of oppression here!) and crispy.

Time 20m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup almond meal
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or 2 tablespoons solid coconut oil
3 tablespoons warm water
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F
  • Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Mix shortening or coconut oil into the dry ingredients using your hands. Add water just a little bit at a time until the dough makes a ball and isn't too sticky. Knead well, making sure there are no big chunks of shortening. If the dough is sticky, add additional potato starch.
  • Take walnut size pieces and press with your fingers onto the foil-covered baking sheet until flat and thin. Smooth out edges, if desired, and use a fork to prick rows of holes.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, watching carefully to make sure they don't get overdone. You should underbake them slightly, rather than overbaking. Remove from oven as soon as the edges become slightly brown - The top should still be white.

GLUTEN FREE CHICKPEA CRACKERS

Make and share this Gluten Free Chickpea Crackers recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Yankiwi

Categories     Breads

Time 25m

Yield 50 Crackers, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups chickpea flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/3 cup flax seed meal
1 tablespoon canola oil
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Mix all dry ingredients together well. Stir in the oil and begin stirring in water a little at a time. The dough will need to be formed into a ball, if it is too dry add a little more water, if too wet, more flour.
  • Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a ball.
  • Use a Silpat or cut a generous amount of plastic wrap and dust it with a gluten-free flour. Flatten one ball into a rectangle, place it on the Silpat or plastic wrap and sprinkle with some more flour. Place another large piece of plastic wrap on the dough and using a rolling pin, roll the dough out as thinly as possible. It might be necessary to peel off the top layer of plastic and re-dust a few times.
  • Peel off the top layer of plastic, dust with a little more flour, place a baking sheet over it, slide another baking sheet under the bottom plastic wrap, flip over, remove the other sheet of plastic wrap and bake.
  • A nice touch, although not necessary, is to glaze the crackers before baking with an egg white or cornstarch glaze.
  • Mine were a little less than an eighth of an inch, but less is literally more! Crackers, that is.
  • Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned and crispy. They will crisp up more after they cool off. After cooled, store in an airtight container.

GRAHAM CRACKERS (GLUTEN FREE)



Graham Crackers (Gluten Free) image

These are great for snacking, making s'mores or even for smashing into crumbs to make a delicious graham cracker crust. This recipe was modified from a recipe found on livingwithout.com by Rebecca Reilly. Feel free to sub the flours for ones you have on hand, just be sure to use 2 1/4 cups total and use at least 1 cup of starchy flours. Makes about 3 cups of graham cracker crumbs.

Provided by Emily Elizabeth

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h

Yield 3 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups gluten-free flour (1 part each of bean flour, tapioca flour & cornstarch)
1/4 cup sweet rice flour (Mochiko is gluten free)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons butter or 7 tablespoons margarine, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons cold water
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt.
  • Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until it resembles cornmeal.
  • Stir in cold water, honey and vanilla. Dough should form a ball. If dough is too dry, add more cold water a tbsp at a time.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Get out two cookie sheets and cover with wax or parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Gather dough into a ball and divide in half. Using a lightly floured cloth covered rolling pin (I use sweet rice flour), roll half of the dough into a rectangle on one of the cookie sheets to about a 1/8" thick. Repeat with the other half.
  • Score dough with a pizza cutter (or knife) into desired shapes and prick all over with a fork. (I like to use plastic forks for pricking since they tend to make rounder and thicker holes.).
  • Very lightly sprinkle all over with sugar.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and starting to harden. Let cool for 5 minutes before breaking apart. (If not fully crispened, put back in turned off warm oven until crisp.).

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: Select high-quality, gluten-free flours like almond flour, coconut flour, or a blend of gluten-free flours. Use fresh herbs and spices for better flavor.
  • Proper Measurements: Precise measurements are essential for successful gluten-free crackers. Use a kitchen scale for accurate results.
  • Mixing and Kneading: Mix ingredients thoroughly until a smooth and cohesive dough forms. Avoid over-mixing, which can make the dough tough.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps prevent spreading and results in crispier crackers.
  • Rolling and Cutting: Roll out the dough evenly and cut into desired shapes using a sharp knife or cookie cutter.
  • Seasoning: Sprinkle herbs, spices, or seeds on top of the crackers before baking for added flavor.
  • Baking Temperature: Bake the crackers at the recommended temperature to achieve the desired texture. Monitor the baking process closely to prevent burning.
  • Cooling and Storage: Allow the crackers to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature. Store-bought gluten-free crackers can be stored according to the package instructions.

Conclusion:

Creating delicious and satisfying gluten-free crackers at home is possible with the right ingredients and techniques. Experiment with different recipes, flavors, and toppings to find your favorites. Whether you prefer savory or sweet crackers, there are endless possibilities to explore. Enjoy the satisfaction of homemade gluten-free crackers that meet your dietary needs and taste preferences.
