Equipment
Ingredients
- 125 g plain flour
- 5 g cornflour about 1.5 tsp
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 85 g salted butter fridge cold, cubed
- 170 g mature cheddar coarsely grated
- 2-3 tbsp cold water
Instructions
- Chill all your ingredients in the fridge up until you're ready to use them.
- Place plain flour, smoked paprika, cornflour and cubed butter in your food processor and whizz for 10 seconds until you have coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add the grated cheddar and process for another 10 seconds. Put 2 tbsp of cold water and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand, add another half of a tbsp, if the mixture looks very dry.
- Tip the mixture onto a workspace and knead just enough to bring it together into a ball. Flatten it out a bit, wrap in clingfilm and pop into the fridge fir 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180C Fan.
- Divide the dough into two. Roll out each piece into a square about 3-4mm thick, then cut into neat squares (a pizza cutter works great here). Arrange the squares onto a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Prick each square with a fork.
- Bake for approx 16 minutes rotating the trays midway through making. Let the crackers cool down before eating them.
- These Flaky cheese crackers will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days, if they last that long.
