Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Cut in 4 tbsp cold butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

  2. 2

    Add 1/4 cup cold water and stir until dough comes together. If too dry, add more water 1 tsp at a time.

  3. 3

    On a floured surface, roll dough very thin (about 1/8 inch). Cut into squares or use a cookie cutter.

  4. 4

    Place crackers on a baking sheet, prick with a fork, and bake until golden and crisp, 12-15 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
