I love snacking on cheese crackers but instead of buying it from the store, why not make it my own?  With making it myself, I will know exactly what’s in it and not all these processed contents that the store-bought ones have.

I thought it will be hard to make but apparently, it was super easy.  I searched on Pinterest for easy recipes.  Found one to use as my basis then I just tweaked it.

Ingredients:

•  1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
• 4 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 3/4 cup unbleached flour
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• salt to sprinkle on top

Instructions:

1. Process all ingredients in a food processor until it turns to a dough
2. Shape into 2 disk, plastic wrap then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes
3. On a parchment or wax paper, roll the dough into rectangle 1/8 inches thick
4. Use sharp tool to cut into 1 inch squares then punch a hole on the center with a bbq stick or toothpick
5. Sprinkle with salt and/or grated cheese
6. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes then place each crackers on a lined sheet
7. Bake in 350F for 15 minutes or until puffed and golden
8. Enjoy
