Homemade Crackers Recipe


Homemade Crackers

This is an awesome recipe for homemade crackers, similar to Ritz!  Pretty simple and without all the processed stuff from the store bought crackers.  My daughter loves to snack on Ritz crackers, esp. with peanut butter, so I'm happy to have a healthier recipe!

Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon + another 1/4 teaspoon salt for topping
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter + 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup water

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400*F.  Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the mini food processor (double the recipe for a regular sized food processor).  Pulse to combine.  Add cold butter a few small pats at a time and pulse to combine.  Add vegetable oil and pulse to combine.  Add water a little bit at a time and pulse to combine after each addition.  The dough should start to form a ball.  Roll dough out as thin as you can.  Use cookie cutters to cut the dough out.  Poke holes in the dough in any pattern you like.  The holes help the crackers to bake correctly.  Bake the crackers on a parchment sheet lined baking sheet for 10 minutes or until crackers just begin to brown.  While the crackers are baking, melt the remaining butter and mix in the remaining salt (add more or less per your personal tastes).  As soon as you remove the crackers form the oven, brush them with the salty butter.  Cool and enjoy!
