Cheese Crackers

You only need five ingredients to make the best ever gluten-free cheese crackers that taste like a name-brand treat! They’re exactly what a cracker should be: crunchy and salty. This recipe is provided courtesy of the Gluten-Free Palate.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
• ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 ½ –2 cups shredded cheddar (about 6-8 oz)
  • For different flavors, use different cheeses. These photos were taken using a sharp cheddar. For a white cheddar, use white cheddar cheese.
• 4 Tablespoons butter, cold and cut into 1 inch pieces
• Extra salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
2. In a food processor, pulse the gluten-free flour blend and xanthan gum. Add the butter pieces and cheese.
3. Pulse together until it forms a ball (about 2 minutes).
4. Place the ball between two pieces of wax paper, and roll it out to about ¼” to ⅛” thick.
5. Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut into 1-inch shapes/squares.
6. Carefully peel them and place on a parchment lined baking sheet about ½-inch apart.
7. Poke each cracker with a fork to prevent over-puffing.
8. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges. Cool on the baking sheet, and store in an airtight container.
