Cheddar & Seaweed Crackers
10 prep, 20min cook
Serves 24
Ingredients
175g plain flour
50g butter, cubed
10 seaweed flakes or 2 tbsp snipped fresh chives
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
70ml water
40g mature Cheddar such as Davidstow, finely grated
Method
Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/ Gas Mark 3. Line two baking sheets with non-stick paper.
Place the flour, butter, seaweed or chives, baking powder and salt in a food processor and whizz to make fine crumbs. Add the water and work on the pulse setting until a firm dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until really thin - about 2mm thick. Use a 65mm plain round cutter to press out 24 crackers, re-rolling the dough as necessary. Transfer the crackers to the prepared trays and bake for 20 mins until pale golden.
Leave to cool on the baking trays before transferring to a wire rack. Leave until cold before packing into airtight containers to store.
