DIY cheese crackers (simple)


Cheese crackers DIY (do it yourself)

Ingredients
1½ cups (6 oz) grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and cut into pieces
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon milk

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
Put everything except the milk in a food processor. Pulse the processor, 5 seconds at a time, for about 5 or 6 times, until the dough is in coarse crumbs.
Add the milk and process until the dough gathers together in a ball.
Roll the dough out on a floured board with a rolling pin that has been floured until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the dough into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. You can put a bit of flour on the blade of the knife to keep it from sticking.Use the flat end of a wooden skewer to poke a hole in the center of each cracker.
Place the crackers at least ¼ inch apart on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Bake for 12 - 15 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown.
Put the baking sheet on a rack and let the crackers cool completely.
Eat! Or store in a covered container to eat within a day or two.
