Add the butter and pulse until it's evenly dispersed and the dough looks like coarse cornmeal. Add 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, then continue to pulse and add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball but is not sticky.
• Transfer the dough to a clean work surface that's lightly dusted with more flour. Shape into a disk, then cut into 4 equal pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough into a very thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer 2 sheets of dough to each of the prepared baking sheets.
• Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl until combined, then brush on top of each sheet of dough.
• For the plain butter flavor: Sprinkle a generous pinch of flaky sea salt over one sheet.
• For the "everything" flavor: Sprinkle the everything seasoning over another sheet of dough.

• For the dried fig and rosemary flavor: Sprinkle the figs, rosemary leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the fourth and final sheet of dough.
• Use a pizza cutter, fluted pastry cutter or 2-inch cookie cutters to cut out the crackers into desired shapes. (If using a cookie cutter, you can discard the scraps or leave those on the baking sheet and bake as well). Spread the shapes out slightly on the baking sheets.
• Bake until the crackers are golden brown all over and crisp, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely, then serve. These crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

BUTTER CRACKERS AKA RITZ CRACKER CLONE

Steps:

• Combine all dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If using a mixer, use the paddle attachment and mix on low speed for one minute. If mixing by hand, use a large wooden spoon and mix for one minute. The dough should form a firm ball and shouldn't be sticky. Mix in extra flour or milk as needed to adjust texture.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 30 seconds to make sure all ingredients are evenly incorporated. The dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 350 degrees Fahrenheit for a convection oven. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Do not oil the paper or silicone mats.
• Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough on a floured work surface, frequently lifting the dough with a metal pastry scraper or bowl scraper to be sure it isn't sticking and dusting with more flour underneath if need be. You can flip the dough over and continue rolling with the bottom side up. The goal is to roll it to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a fork or dough docker and poke holes all over the surface of the dough. Brush the surface of the dough with an even coating of the egg wash and sprinkle with fine salt.
• Use a small cookie cutter dipped in flour to make round crackers or cut into squares or diamonds with a pizza cutter. Place the crackers about 1/2 inch apart on the prepared pans. Gather any scrap dough and repeat the rolling out, egg wash and salting process until all dough is formed into crackers.
• If making more than one pan of crackers you can bake them all at once. Place the pans on different shelves and bake for 8 minutes, rotate the pans and bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes, or until the crackers are firm and lightly golden. Remove the pans from the oven and brush the hot crackers with the melted butter. Immediately, turn off the oven, then return the pans to the hot oven for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and let the crackers cool on the pan. The crackers are done when they have a rich golden brown color and are fairly dry and crisp. If they don't snap cleanly after they cool, return the pan to a hot oven for a few more minutes until they dry sufficiently to snap when broken.
