Equipment

  • food processor
  • fish-shaped cookie cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 tbsp Cold Unsalted Butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 2 to 3 tbsp Ice Water

Instructions
 

  • Add the gluten free flour, shredded cheddar cheese, cold butter, cornstarch, salt, onion powder, and smoked paprika to a food processor. Pulse about 15 times until the mixture looks like damp sand and begins to clump together.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and pulse several more times until a dough forms. If it still seems dry and crumbly, add the remaining tablespoon of water and pulse again. The dough should hold together when you press it between your fingers.
  • Turn the dough out onto a sheet of plastic wrap, press it into a flat disc, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This makes the dough much easier to roll out.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the chilled dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness. The thinner you roll them, the crispier they will be.
  • Use a small fish-shaped cookie cutter or any small cutter about 1 inch wide to stamp out crackers. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut again until all the dough is used. Place them on the prepared baking sheets with just a small gap between each one.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until the crackers are golden at the edges and firm to the touch. They will crisp up more as they cool.
  • Let them cool completely on the baking sheets before eating. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
