HOMEMADE CHEESE CRACKERS

Cheesy, crunching and totally addictive....a perfect tea time snack.... for all those cheese lovers !!!

INGREDIENTS

1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup flour / maida 1 and 1/2 teaspoons corn flour / cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cold 2 Tablespoons ice cold water

INSTRUCTIONS

Take a medium bowl and using a hand mixer or standing mixer, combine cheese, butter, and salt. Once combined, mix in the flours and add the ice water one tablespoon at a time. The dough should hold together but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a little more ice water. Separate dough into two halves and pack together into discs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll out into a 9-inch square. Using a small sharp knife, trim dough into a 8 inch squares ( I used a ruler and the knife to cut out perfect squares ) Slice square into 8 strips, each 1 inch wide, then make 8 perpendicular slices, each 1 inch wide. Each 8-inch square will have 64 squares approx. Place squares on prepared baking sheet. Use a skewer or large toothpick to poke a hole through the center of each. Bake until golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes if you want is crunchier ( or you can take it out at 16 minutes if you want it soft). Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
