During this crazy month, the girls and I made homemade cheezits. I only had whole wheat flour, so they were a little different in taste.
First you shred some cheese:
Measure out 1 cup (8 ounces):
Measure 1 cup of flour:
Cut up 4 tablespoons of butter into small pieces:
Measure out 3/4 teaspoon of salt:
Measure out 1/2 teaspoon of ground mustard:
Place all of the above ingredients into a food processor and process until combined and crumbly looking, slowly add in 2-3 tablespoons of water to form a dough. *If after 2 Tbsp it's still dry add in 1 Tbsp more of water*
Shape into a ball and cover with plastic for 20 minutes:
Roll out into a thin dough:
Cut into desired shapes:
Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness) and enjoy:
Homemade Cheez-It Crackers
1 cup cheese
1 cup flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground mustard
4 Tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
2-3 Tbsp water
- In a food processor, combine all the ingredients EXCEPT the water. Pulse until it combines and looks like crumbs.
- Slowly add in 2 tablespoons of water. If the dough is still dry, add in 1 more tablespoon of water.
- Remove the dough and shape into a ball.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the over to 350 degrees F.
- Roll out the dough to the desired thickness (the thinner the flakier/the thicker the more cookie-like it is) and cut into the desired shape.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness, until crispy. (The thinner the dough, the less time required to bake).
- Cool, store in an airtight container and enjoy!
