Homemade Cheez-It Crackers

OK, it's confession time, I dearest Cheez-It crackers. I don't stock them inward the pantry (for obvious reasons), so when the urge ambushed me the other day, I was rattling happy to discovery this tedious recipe.

These crackers truly attain feel of enjoy a lot like Cheez-It crackers, except fresher as good as to a greater extent than flavorful. They are quick to construct as good as have got require ingredients I always have got inward my kitchen (a win-win for us since we live 10 miles out of town).

 
 
 
CHEEZ-IT CRACKERS
 
8 ounces extra SHARP cheddar cheese shredded (see government notation below)
1 loving loving cup all utilization flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons UNSALTED butter (room temperature)
1 teaspoon tabular array tabular array salt (divided)
4 to vi tablespoons H2O H2O ice water  (see government notation below)
 
Put the shredded cheese as good as room temperature butter in your food processor as good as laissez passer on it a few pulses to blend.
 
Mix 1/2 teaspoon of tabular array tabular array salt as good as 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne into the flour, as good as hence sprinkle it over the cheese-butter mixture as good as pulse a few times until the mixture looks a short clumpy precisely skillful mixed.
 
Next, with the food processor running, add together together iv tablespoons of the H2O H2O ice water. Run the food processor until the dough forms a ball, as good as hence stop. See tip below on the full of H2O to use
 
 
Divide the dough inward half as good as covert and chill for thirty minutes.  Roll the dough rattling lean (as lean every bit you lot tin instruct it), like a pie crust (1/8")or thinner (see government notation below) and cutting into 1" squares.
 
 
 
Sprinkle squares remaining tabular array tabular array salt as good as poke a hole inward the centre of the square. Place squares on ungreased cookie canvass (they tin live pretty shut together precisely non touching).
 
Bake inward preheated 400° for 10 to 12 minutes or till golden (see government notation below). Remove crackers from baking canvass as good as cool them on a bakers rack (so air tin instruct to both sides of the cracker). Cool to room temperature before eating them (they testament instruct crisper every bit they cool down).
 
TIPS:
This recipe truly needs extra sharp cheddar cheese as good as construct for certain that you lot grate it yourself.  Commercially grated cheeses have got a starch coating on them hence the shreds don't clump together. This starch coating truly effects how cheese melts (and tastes)
 
The recipe didn't province what shape of tabular array tabular array salt to use, precisely I used a lite sprinkling of kosher tabular array tabular array salt because it is large as good as flakey, precisely that's exclusively my personal preference. On ane batch, I put salt on both sides of the cracker squares as good as it made them too salty  (well, the domestic domestic dog didn't intend so, precisely we did).
 
 This recipe calls for iv to vi tablespoons of H2O H2O ice water. When I made these, it took the full vi tablespoons, precisely as good as hence the full of H2O you lot utilization depends on the humidity of your flour, etc. etc. etc.  Just maiden of all with iv tablespoons as good as together with hence if the dough doesn't come upwards upwards together nicely inward a ball, add together together a short more.
 
This dough is extremely tedious to whorl out as good as doesn't cleft or recess apart. Just construct for certain you lot whorl it VERY thin. No thing how lean you lot whorl them, they testament fifty-fifty hence puff upwards a short slice baking, hence piece of occupation along that inward mind. Just remember, the thinner you lot whorl them, the crispier the cracker testament be.
 
And finally, the recipe says to bake them 10 to 12 minutes. I have got the best luck cooking them for 10 minutes as good as hence switching to the broiler for the lastly thirty seconds. It gives them a wonderful golden crispy top.
 
If you lot have got leftovers, store them inward an airtight container.
 
ENJOY !!
