Time 50m

Yield 100 crackers, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
8 ounces cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Pulse the flour, butter, cheese, salt, and pepper together using a food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Pulse in 3 to 4 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, and only enough so that the dough forms a ball and rides the blade.
  • Remove, wrap in plastic, and chill for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  • Roll the dough out on a cookie sheet to 1/8-inch thickness. (If you roll it thicker, it will still work, but the crackers won't be quite as crunchy.).
  • Using a pizza cutter slice dough into 1 inch squares or using a cookie cutter cut out as many crackers as possible.
  • Bake at 350 F until golden and crisp - 15 to 20 minutes.

Time 30m

Yield 2 1/2 quarts, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

18 ounces cheddar cheese goldfish crackers
1 ounce ranch dressing mix
3 teaspoons dill weed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2/3 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place crackers in a large bowl.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients.
  • Drizzle over crackers and toss to coat evenly.
  • Transfer to a large baking pan.
  • Bake at 250 degrees for about 15 - 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Cool completely and store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Ingredients: Ensure you use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best results. Opt for organic or natural options whenever possible.
  • Measuring Accurately: Precise measurements are crucial for successful baking. Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements, especially for ingredients like flour and sugar.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking is essential for creating a flaky and crispy texture. This helps prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Preheating the Oven: Always preheat your oven to the desired temperature before baking the crackers. This ensures the crackers bake evenly and consistently.
  • Using Parchment Paper: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the crackers from sticking. This also makes it easier to transfer the crackers to a cooling rack.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Keep a close eye on the crackers while baking. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven, so adjust accordingly. Avoid overbaking, as this can make the crackers too hard and dry.

Conclusion:

Homemade goldfish crackers are a delicious and healthier alternative to store-bought options. With careful attention to detail and following the tips provided, you can create crispy, flavorful crackers that your family and friends will love. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to customize the crackers to your preference.
