Cheese Crackers are too Simple to Make at Home!

These crispy, crunchy Cheese Crackers are here just in time for back-to-school. They come together quickly in the food processor with only a few simple ingredients, and they taste so much better than the store-bought version. The best part? They pack perfectly in lunchboxes.
Recipe: sugarspunrun.com/cheese-crack...
Ingredients
8 oz grated cheddar cheese (for best results grate your own cheese from a block) (226g)
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour (165g)
1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt, plus additional for sprinkling on top
8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold
3 Tablespoons ice water

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:24 Note: if your food processor has a grate or shred blade like mine does, just use this to grate your block of cheese directly into the basin of the food processor before beginning.
00:56 Combine shredded cheese, flour, sugar, paprika, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt in the basin of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse until ingredients are combined and cheese is well chopped up (about 15-20 seconds).
01:24 Scatter cold butter pieces over the surface of the ingredients and pulse again until butter is cut into the mixture and the mixture appears pebbly/crumbly.
02:01 Add water and pulse until ingredients begin to cling together.
02:52 Divide dough into two or three parts and form each into a ball. Flatten each into a square shape and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator and chill for at least one hour and up to 3 days.
03:45 Once dough has nearly finished chilling, preheat oven to 375F (190C).
03:50 Working with one square at a time, roll dough to be between ⅛ and ¼” (0.3-0.6cm) thin.
04:13 Use a pastry wheel or pizza cutter to cut dough into 1” squares.
04:57 Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet and use a toothpick or the blunt end of a wooden skewer to pierce the center of each square.
05:11 Sprinkle lightly with additional kosher salt (I use about 1-2 teaspoon total for all of the crackers) and transfer to 375F (190C) oven and bake for 18-20 minutes.
05:58 Allow crackers to cool completely on baking sheet before enjoying.
NOTES
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Ok I must admit, I’ve stalked your channel for some time. I’ve tried several of your recipes. I don’t comment often, I know I should and I will try to do better on that. I made these the other day for my hubby, he is in stage 4 kidney cancer so I keep out as many preservatives as possible in his diet. He wanted tomato soup and cheese crackers…well, off to KZbin I went to see if I could find a trusted channel who had recipes I could try….I found both on yours. Now hubby eats very little at a time now😭 so I was so surprised when he finished his first bowl, and a handful of crackers and asked for more. To my joy he ate two full bowl. Thank you so much it’s an amazing day when he eats. He has asked if we can have this again. I have ordered a case of whole tomatoes.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Aw, I'm so happy your husband loved the soup and crackers ❤️ Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to leave a comment. Take care!

[@kimberlymcdaniel4924]

This looks absolutely amazing! Do you know if the flour could be exchanged for almond, and still have the same results??

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't tried it so I'm not sure how it will turn out. I don't use almond flour too often be really sure how it will behave here.

[@kimberlymcdaniel4924]

@@SugarSpunRun ok np! Thank you! I’ll try it out and let you know!

[@violetviolet888]

@@kimberlymcdaniel4924 How did it go?

[@teresamathena825]

Think I will try white cheddar

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yummmm!

[@Goldiewashere]

That one batch would fit in the palm of my hand then consumed all at once.

[@dontreadmyname3904]

Hi ! Is it possible to use shredded cheese ?

[@SugarSpunRun]

For best results you really want to shred it yourself as preshredded cheese has additives to keep it from sticking together

[@daphnerodriguez9980]

SIMPLE , AMAZING CHEESE CRACKERS YES THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! :)

[@kristinasterling815]

What kind of food processor do you have. I need to buy one.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I actually link to the one I use in the description. :)

[@debbieemes5580]

Could I use sourdough starter with this recipe?

[@Clairebiebz1231]

Is there a way to make this without a food processor?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You would have to cut it in by hand. It's going to be a lot more work but it's doable. You'll need to get everything cut together really well you may end up needing more water.

[@plebisitemanager7055]

Your show is so damn cool... great treats. ( *,*)

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! 😊

[@marifaz64]

Can you turn these cheese crakers into deffirent shapes? like hearts or bunnies

[@SugarSpunRun]

Absolutely! 😊

[@marifaz64]

Nice

[@daniellesnyder1244]

Cute, but waaay too much work (especially for how picky my husband is and knowing he would rather have the boxed 😂).
