You can make Homemade Crackers in under 20 minutes. Super easy and way better than the store-bought kind!
The perfect topping for these crackers is my Homemade Pimento Cheese Spread or my Cranberry Jam.
HOMEMADE CRACKERS
Just in case you are not a fan of wheat thins, or have texture issues, or simply want a cracker but don't have whole wheat flour on hand, here is a recipe for simple homemade crackers. I took the recipe for Homemade Wheat Thins and switched the white whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. In case you were wondering (and I was) if it works - it does! And so wonderfully! You can add whatever spices you like to the dough. I added ground black pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
So all you need is probably already in your pantry. In just under 20 minutes you can enjoy a nice batch of homemade crackers. Who's in? 🙂

Transfer the dough onto a flat surface and roll out very thin, yet not see-through.

Using a pizza cutter, cut the rolled out dough into 1 and ½ inch squares. Place squares on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with additional salt, if you like them salty. Bake until the edges start to turn golden brown.

Ansley says
I definitely didn't make them thin enough, BUT they were delicious regardless, just needed a few more minutes in the oven! I will absolutely be making these again, hopefully, this time rolled out to the correct thinness. Thank you!!

How long will these last? I’m wondering if I can make a bunch and keep them for a month or two.
Thanks

Once I took the crackers out of the oven, they became soft and not crunchies like a cracker should be.

Mary says
This recipe looks absolutely lovely!! However, I was wondering if there was a way to make them without a food processor involved. I don’t have one, is it possible to make them by hand or in a kitchenaid?
Miss Judy says
I just asked myself the same question! I don't see an answer... I am still asking myself how I might improvise...
Anna says
Hi! You can grate the butter with a cheese grater and try to combine the ingredients until they form a dough. I just find the food processor much easier for this. I hope this helps!

I made this recipe without a processor.. they came out fine. I didn’t roll them thin enough but still good
