Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup water, plus more as needed
Description
Crackers are ridiculously easy to make, and once you produce your first batch you'll have little trouble figuring out how to create your favorites. Sprinkle them with salt, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds; work a tiny bit of garlic or herbs into the dough; or substitute whole wheat or rye flour for some or all of the white flour.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the flour, salt, and butter together in a large bowl or in the container of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Blend with a fork or pulse, until the flour and butter are combined. Add about 1/4 cup of water and blend, and then continue to add water until the mixture holds together but is not sticky.
Roll out on a lightly floured surface until 1/4 inch thick, or even less. Don't worry about over handling—add flour as needed, and keep rolling. Score lightly with a sharp knife or razor if you want to break these into nice squares or rectangles later on. Bake on a lightly floured baking sheet, or directly on baking stones, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature, or store in a tin.
