Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 teaspoons McCormick® Savory Spice Blend
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons ice water

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer add the cheddar cheese, butter, Savory spice blend, and salt until well combined.
Mix in the flour and add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together but crumbles apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a little more ice water.
Divide the dough into 2 halves and pack together in discs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough to ⅛-inch (½-centimeter) thick, pinching the cracks on the ends. Cut into 1-inch (2½-centimeter) squares and poke a hole in the center of each square for ventilation during baking.
Separate the crackers and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
