Parmesan and Paprika Crackers

Ingredients

2 cups plain flour

3 tsp baking powder

1 Tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt

6 Tbsp unsalted butter, cut into cubes
½ cup grated parmesan

1 tsp paprika

2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2/3 cup cold water

4 Tbsp-unsalted butter
Coarsely ground sea salt, for topping

Method

Pre-heat oven 200C.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Place flour, baking powder, sugar, ½ tsp salt in a bowl or food processor and pulse
to combine. Add butter, veg oil and pulse to combine. Lastly add the parmesan

and paprika. With food processor on low speed, slowly drizzle in the water until

the dough begins to form a ball. Remove dough from food processor and wrap
in plastic wrap.

Let rest for 10 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough as thin as possible. (Thin like
crepes works best). Cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter or a knife or

pizza cutter. Gather scraps of dough and re-roll until dough is used. Arrange on
lined baking tray. Make sure to prick holes in the dough.

Brush melted butter and coarsely ground sea salt on tops and bake 10 minutes,

or until golden brown. Allow cooling 5 minutes on tray and then removing to a
cooling rack to cool completely.
