Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- Add the 2 cups flour, the Parmesan and kosher salt to a food processor, and pulse until the cheese is finely chopped and the mixture is evenly combined. Add the butter and pulse until it's evenly dispersed and the dough looks like coarse cornmeal. Add 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, then continue to pulse and add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball but is not sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a clean work surface that's lightly dusted with more flour. Shape into a disk, then cut into 4 equal pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough into a very thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer 2 sheets of dough to each of the prepared baking sheets.
- Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl until combined, then brush on top of each sheet of dough.
- For the plain butter flavor: Sprinkle a generous pinch of flaky sea salt over one sheet.
- For the "everything" flavor: Sprinkle the everything seasoning over another sheet of dough.
- For the Parmesan-black pepper flavor: Sprinkle the Parmesan, several grinds of coarse black pepper and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the third sheet of dough.
- For the dried fig and rosemary flavor: Sprinkle the figs, rosemary leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the fourth and final sheet of dough.
- Use a pizza cutter, fluted pastry cutter or 2-inch cookie cutters to cut out the crackers into desired shapes. (If using a cookie cutter, you can discard the scraps or leave those on the baking sheet and bake as well). Spread the shapes out slightly on the baking sheets.
- Bake until the crackers are golden brown all over and crisp, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely, then serve. These crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
- Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
- Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles--your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
- Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.

Steps:
- Mix flour, baking powder,& shortening and then add milk; blend well.
- Form a ball with the dough and divide into 4 sections.
- Roll 1 section out very thin (about 1/8 to 3/16-inches) -- making sure it is rolled out EVENLY -- and cut with a cookie cutter (you can use all shapes!) or a pastry wheel with the crinkled edges, and repeat with other sections.
- place on an ungreased cookie sheet& prick the dough with a fork several times and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake at 375 for 12-20 minutes until golden brown, but be careful not to burn!
Tips:
- Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is a good choice for crispy crackers, but you can also use bread flour or whole wheat flour for a more flavorful cracker. If you are using bread flour, be sure to add a little extra water to the dough.
- Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create a flaky cracker. Be sure to cut the butter into small pieces before adding it to the dough. You can also use shortening or lard instead of butter.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help to develop the flavor of the crackers and make them easier to roll out. Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the crackers will be. Be sure to roll the dough evenly so that the crackers are all the same thickness.
- Bake the crackers at a high temperature: Baking the crackers at a high temperature will help to create a crispy cracker. Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the crackers.
- Season the crackers: You can season the crackers with a variety of herbs, spices, and seeds. Be sure to add the seasonings to the dough before baking.
Conclusion:
Crispy crackers are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of toppings. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own crispy crackers at home. So next time you're looking for a crunchy snack, try making a batch of crispy crackers.
