Beautiful Katy is on Faces of Beauty today! Come read about why she is awesome 🙂
What is wrong with me? I’ve hardly been posting sugary treats for a whole two days.
I think this is what’s called a quarter-life crisis.
I think.
So you know how yesterday I told you guys about that awesome bean dip? And I said to eat it with anything you like? Well, other than green beans I’ve been consuming mass quantities of the dip with crackers of the homemade variety. Of the homemade and super cheesy variety. Get ready to have your mind blown by simplicity!
SHARP CHEDDAR CRACKERS (based on this recipe from Ina Garten)
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 4 oz sharp white cheddar, grated
- 1 1/4 cups of flour (add 2 Tbsp if you’re at higher altitude)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
With a hand mixer beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the flour, salt, onion powder, black pepper, and mix til just combined. Fold in the cheddar cheese. Spread a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter and dump the mixture into the middle of it. Form a log (about 1.5 inches in diameter) and wrap the plastic around it. Refrigerate for 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. When the log is very cold and hardened, pull it out. Slice the crackers 1/4-inch thick and place on the baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool completely before eating with dip.
Or don’t.
Whatever.
These are great, and I love the flavor that the sharp cheddar gives…tangy and salty and just right.
Just right for what, you ask?
Just right for breakfast, lunch, and dinner forever and ever AMEN.
yummmmmmmm
This sounds so easy and good! I can think of so many different dips that would taste great with this. Thanks for the recipe!
and theyre marbled too!!!!! love your homemade cheesy crackers!! <3
We made these with our kiddos the other week!! (Cooking classes) I swear the recipe was almost *exactly* the same – and omg, yes, sooo easy. They loved it 😉
Only difference – we added paprika. Which I highly recommend!
I apparently have adopted your sweet tooth. Mine has been reeling with cravings more than normal the past two days. Please come claim your sweet tooth from me asap. 😉
I am making these. thanks for sharing the deliciousness.
Those are super simple! I’ll have to try them GF 😉
those look really really goodd!!
Ahh these crackers make me miss cheese! 🙂
OMG I would destroy a batch of those. That’s good for some football watching!
I’ve had crackers in the “things to bake” queue forever…and they’re still there! This makes me realize I need to get it into the “things I’ve baked lately..” column!
Thanks for sharing..
Love,
Cathy B. @ brightbakes
I am so into these! 🙂
omg those sounds amazing. Your cooking impresses me so much!
They look so good! I’ve been really into dips and savory snacks as well. I think it may have to do with the change of season.
I rarely buy crackers because I can eat a whole box in one sitting, so I will make them instead. And eat the whole batch in one sitting.
I’ve been wanting to try homemade crackers for a long time now. It is so hard to find store-bought ones without a gazillion ingredients. These might be my first try recipe! Thanks. 🙂
these look delicious and addicting! how long do you think they would stay good for?
i would say a week-ish? not totally sure, but definitely store them in an airtight container!
thanks… although i doubt they’d last that long if i made them!
Those little specks of cheesy goodness are calling my name. I’ve never made homemade crackers, will try for sure!
These look so delicious! I had seen Ina make these a very long time ago on her show and have always wanted to try them! Now I just might!
They’re purdy too!
Can you magically transport these to my house? Like right now?
Mmmm I made cheesy biscotti recently… cracker making is actually pretty easy! who knew?! yours look fab!
Kind of like a healthy cheeze it…I am all over this!
I’ve been loving your recipes lately! I just keep hitting “bookmark”… I need to actually get around to making them 🙂
Those look dangerous! For some reason I can never eat just 1 cracker. Never!
I’m pretty sure those would go well with almost anything! Way better than silly ol’ Ritz…
The vegetarian restaurant I used to work at makes some crackers just like this, and they are DANG tasty! Yum!
I have always wanted to try Ina’s cracker recipe, but just haven’t gotten around to it. I love your adaptions, Heather! They look incredible!
So I may be calling you “Ina” from now on…
Oh man, I have no control when it comes to cheesy crackers 🙂 These look awesome!
Holy moly those look good. My best friend from college made rosemary crackers from scratch using a Martha Stewart recipe. They were so good we called her Martha for years after that;)
These look great. My husband has a thing for buying Ritz crackers, which I find disgusting. I’ll have to bake these for him instead.
I think we are one of a kind. I made cheesy crackers for the first time on Sunday… but they didn’t look nearly as good as these. Now I want to go home and make these!
