Recipe with cheese, garlic & spicy cracker option

If you’re anything like me, you like to have a nice savoury snack while watching your favourite film. And all three of these cracker variations are perfect quick snacks to whip up while your partner finds a good film to watch.

Sure, you could buy your crackers, but they aren’t nearly as delicious as homemade fresh from the oven crackers. They are also way more budget-friendly since a whole batch doesn’t even cost 10 cents.

If you’re interested in making more of your own snacks, then some sesame sweets, cheese scones, or oat biscuits might be good.

These crackers are made with wholesome ingredients, making them a good option for when you want to avoid strange chemicals.

And as an added bonus, you can make them exactly to your taste. You can experiment with your own spice mixes to find your perfect cracker. 

I really like strong garlic flavours, whereas my husband thinks the spicier the cracker, the better, and my daughter prefers her crackers very cheesy. So I created three versions so that everybody can be happy with their crackers.

How to make a delicious cracker

Add the flour, baking powder, and spices to a bowl. You won’t need a very big bowl unless you want to double or triple the recipe.

Weigh and cube the butter and add to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Sometimes I don’t feel like cubing my butter, so I just slice it in slabs and pick off bits with floured fingers.

Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs or coarse sand.

Add the tablespoons of water and mix it so that it forms a ball.

Roll out the dough as thin as you can for the crispiest crackers, you want to be able to see your hand through it. If you roll them out thicker, they will be less crispy, but no less delicious.

I like to use my pasta machine to roll out the dough, I start at nr 0 on the pasta machine and work my way up to nr 5 in thickness. But I’ve also made them plenty of times with only my rolling pin.

Cut the crackers out with a cookie-cutter that is about 6 cm in diameter.

Place them all on a tray, they don’t need a lot of room in between them but do make sure they don’t touch.

Prick them all with a fork, this will make sure you don’t get weird air pockets in your crackers and ensures they stay flat and crispy.

Bake them at 210 °C/410 °F in a preheated oven for 5 minutes.

Enjoy your crackers fresh from the oven or save them in a tin for a couple of days so that you can enjoy them while you’re watching a film on the sofa.
