Ingredients
- 250 g/ 8.8 oz/ 2 cups + 2 tablespoons grated Gouda cheese or Cheddar
- 200 g/ 7 oz/ 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 200 g/ 7 oz/ ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons butter very cold
- 1 small egg
- Note
Instructions
-
Grate the cheese and cut the very cold butter into small cubes. Place the cheese, butter, flour, and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times until everything is crumbly. The butter should not be entirely blended into the dough, you should be able to see tiny butter dots in the dough, which ensures that the crackers are really flaky and nice.
-
Form a ball, flatten it, wrap in plastic foil and refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking trays with baking paper. I actually have to bake the crackers in 3 batches, but most people only have 1 or 2 baking trays.
-
If using a fan oven preheat it to 160 degrees Celsius/ 320 degrees Fahrenheit. A fan oven will allow you to bake two trays at a time. In a regular oven, only bake one tray at a time.
