Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1/2 tsp of the salt in the food processor.
- Pulse to combine.
- Add cold butter a few small pats at a time, and pulse to combine.
- Add vegetable oil. Pulse to combine.
- Add water a little bit at a time. Pulse to combine after each addition. The dough should start to form a ball.
- Roll dough out as thin as you can. Mine ended up being all different thicknesses. Don't sweat it; they are homemade crackers! If you are really concerned, use a pasta maker to make the dough all one thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut the dough out. You can make them Ritz-shaped or any shape that you like.
- Poke holes in the dough in the Ritz pattern or any pattern you like (smiley faces would be fun!). Keep in mind that the holes are not just decorative; they help the crackers to bake evenly - so be sure to poke some.
- Bake the crackers on a parchment- or Silpat-lined baking sheet for ten minutes or until the crackers just begin to brown.
- While the crackers are baking, melt the remaining butter and mix in the remaining salt. (Some people said that my crackers weren't salty enough, so add more or less salt to your taste.)
- As soon as you remove the crackers from the oven, brush them with the salty butter.
- Cool and eat!

BUTTER TOFFEE CRACKERS
I make this at Christmas Time every year for my cookie platters that I give away. I've made it with plain graham crackers, chocolate graham crackers, town house and ritz crackers. I prefer the town house or ritz crackers the best as it is just a little bit "less" sweet.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and set aside.
- Sift the white spelt flour, white whole-wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together. Pour into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough blade (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment). Add the chilled butter and pulse to create a coarse crumb mixture. With the food processor running, stream in the flaxseed oil, followed by the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture starts to form large clumps.
- Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gather it into a ball. Knead gently once or twice. Sprinkle a little more flour on top of the dough and roll it out until it is 1/4 inch thick, rotating the dough by 90 degrees after each roll.
- Prick the dough all over with a fork, making sure it is well pierced. Using a small cookie cutter of your choice, cut out the crackers and carefully place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg with the milk. Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the crackers with the egg wash.
- Bake just until the crackers begin to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
- While the crackers are baking, stir the melted butter and salt together in a small bowl. Brush the mixture onto the freshly baked, still warm crackers before serving.
BUTTER CRACKERS AKA RITZ CRACKER CLONE
This is the recipe I've been waiting for my whole life! I got this recipe from Peter Reinhart's book Artisan Breads Every Day. I have never found a cracker recipe that I've been happy with before this one. All other recipes make gritty or soft crackers. They were never flaky or crisp. That has all changed now! Try these and you'll agree. Just make sure to follow the recipe to the letter. Don't substitute different flours or you'll be disappointed. Ingredients are listed by volume for beginners and by weight (grams) for the more advanced cooks out there.

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.
