Crackers are a great addition to any meal, as they can be used as a vessel for dips, spreads, and cheeses. Not only are they delicious, but they are also simple to make from scratch. Here are some easy steps to follow on how to make a cracker, using basic ingredients that are commonly found in your pantry.

Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
– 1/2 cup water
– Coarse sea salt for sprinkling on top

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder together until combined.

3. Add the chilled butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Slowly pour in the water and mix until everything is incorporated, and you have a sticky dough.

5. On a floured surface, knead the dough a few times until it becomes smooth. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness.

6. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 2 inch squares, triangles, or any desired shape. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times to prevent them from puffing up in the oven.

7. Place the crackers onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle each cracker with coarse sea salt.

8. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

– For added flavor, mix in your favorite herbs or spices to the flour mixture before adding the butter and water.
– You can make the crackers any size you want, but be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. Smaller crackers will cook faster, while larger ones will take longer.
– Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Making your own crackers from scratch not only tastes delicious but also gives you the opportunity to experiment with different flavors and toppings. Give this simple recipe a try and customize it to your liking. Enjoy!
