Use a Microplane:A microplane grater or zester creates finer cheese shavings, ensuring a crispy texture.
Cold Ingredients:Cold cheese and butter make the dough easier to handle and prevent spreading.
Chill the Dough:Chilling the dough minimizes spreading and helps the cheese set.
Roll the Dough Thinly:Aim for a thickness of 1/16 inch to achieve crispy crackers.
Use a Pizza Cutter or Knife:Cut the dough into desired shapes before baking.
Bake at a High Temperature:Bake at a high temperature, around 400°F (200°C), to ensure crispiness.
