Cheese Crackers

Cheese Crackers .. like Cheez-Its but cheesy and buttery instead of oily and chemically.

1/3 Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese (extra sharp is best)
1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 Cup Warmed Butter
1 Tsp Kosher Salt
1 Cup Flour
3 Tbsp Ice Cold Water

Thoroughly mix cheeses, butter, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until mixture is crumbly. Add 1 Tbsp of water at a time mixing thoroughly between each spoonful until mixture is a firm dough. Press into a disk like you would a pie crust, then wrap in plastic and set in the fridge for an hour or so.

After dough is set, cut into two pieces then roll each piece onto baking paper until very thin. Divide the rolled dough with a pizza cutter or knife.

Bake at 200° C for about 15 minutes or until fully cooked and golden. Even what may appear to be slightly more done than it should be will turn out awesome and crunchy. Experiment.. you’ll see.
