Homemade cheeze-its



Makes about 100 crackers
You will need:
8oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tbs unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp salt
3 - 4 tbs ice water


1. First, mix together the shredded cheese,  half of the salt and the softened butter. 
( you can use whatever kind of cheese you like). I shredded my own cheese just 
because I think it has better flavor and melts better, but you can use pre-shredded 
too to save some time!) Add in the flour and mix until the dough looks like little
fluffy clumps. Then, with the mixer running begin adding the ice water and mix until 
a soft dough forms. (use as much ice water as you need for a dough to form).

2. Divide the dough in two, form each into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes. Then, roll the dough out on a floured 
surface into about an 1/8 inch thickness and using a fluted pastry cutter, cut the dough
into about 1 inch squares.

3. Preheat your oven to 375 deg F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Transfer your little cheez-its onto the parchment paper, make a hole in the center of 
each with a toothpick, then sprinkle them with the rest of the salt. Bake for about 
7 - 10 minutes (baking time will depend on your oven, just watch them carefully so
they don't burn!), or until they have puffed up and the edges begin to brown.
Let cool before eating. (They are best eaten right away, but you can store them in 
an airtight container).
