What Kind of Cheese Do You Use?
I used cheddar in my crackers, which is what gives them the flavor of the original, but you can use different kinds if cheeses. The firmer the cheese the better for holding shape and texture.
Can You Add Seasoning?
Yes, absolutely! You can use:
• Onion powder
• Smoked paprika
• Oregano
• Garlic powder….
Very important notes:
• Use cold butter to get the flaky crackers,
• If you use salted butter, do not add salt
• Place dough in refrigerator for at last 1 hour before rolling
• Roll thinly about 1/8 of an inch
• Baking time may vary depending on thickness of crackers
