Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Pizza cutter
  • Rolling Pin
  • baking sheet
  • Skewer or toothpick

Ingrediënten

  • 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour plus ½ cup reserved for kneading and rolling
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Cheese Topping powder or powder from 2 boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • cup buttermilk
  • ½ teaspoon salt optional, for sprinkling on top

Instructies

  • Sift together 1 cup of flour, baking soda, baking powder, and cheese powder in a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut in the shortening with a fork and knife in a crosswise motion until the dough resembles rice-sized pieces.
  • The mixture will still be dry.
  • Stir in the buttermilk with a fork until the dough becomes moist and sticky.
  • Sprinkle a few tablespoons of the reserved flour over the dough and work it in until the dough can be handled without sticking.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured board, keeping ¼ cup of reserved flour for later.
  • Knead for 60-90 seconds until the flour is fully incorporated.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and dust a rolling surface with the remaining reserved flour.
  • Roll out one-third of the dough to just under 1/16 inch thick.
  • Trim the edges square using a pizza cutter, then transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet using a rolling pin for support.
  • Cut the dough into 1-inch squares with the pizza cutter.
  • Use the blunt end of a skewer or toothpick to poke a hole in the center of each square.
  • Sprinkle a light coating of salt on top of the crackers, if desired.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, mix the crackers around to prevent burning, and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until some crackers are just lightly browned.
  • Repeat the rolling and baking process with the remaining dough.
