I made these cheese crackers last summer. I didn’t take photos of the steps, but I took enough of the finished product to make up for that. I was very proud.
This was my first time making crackers. I found the recipe at My Kitchen Snippets.
(I’m sure I didn’t use parchment paper, and I used the KitchenAid mixer instead of a food processor.)
They were light and flakey. They are cheesey, but I wouldn’t compare mine to Cheez-Its. Cheez-Its are much sturdier and sharper, flavorwise. The cheese in mine blended in with the butter and flour to be a soft, subtle cheese flavor.
Tristan loves to watch me cook. He stands on his ladder and supervises, just out of reach. Behind him, you can see that I was making brownies to go with the crackers. It was the Fourth of July, so it seemed like an appropriately snacky menu.
I took the plate outside to photograph the crackers in natural light.
Yum!
How about the handsome gray cat? Did he like the crackers? It’s been my experience that cats as handsome as he love cheese. That said, this “Tristan” character does not appear to be much of a slouch. He, too, must love cheese. But I digress; where is that tabby? Are you treating him right? Try appeasing him with a cherry pie. Even if he does not like it, he can barter it for affection from his favorite male human. Indeed, so could this “Tristan” fellow. Make two!
I am very impressed by your cooking. I know for a fact that you developed this skill yourself. You definitely did not learn it at home!
