Cracker Ingredients
Method
Cracker Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- 3
Incorporate Butter
Add the unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4
Add Water
Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should be slightly sticky.
- 5
Roll Out the Dough
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough onto it. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
- 6
Cut the Crackers
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into squares or rectangles, about 2 inches in size. Transfer the pieces to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 7
Add Coarse Salt
Sprinkle the coarse sea salt evenly over the cut crackers.
- 8
Bake the Crackers
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Cool and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool on a wire rack. Enjoy them as a snack or with your favorite dips.
