Delicious Parmesan crackers.

Time 1h30m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
½ cup whipping cream
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and mustard for dough in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture is well combined and resembles bread crumbs. Pour 1/2 of the cream in slowly, with the processor running, until combined. Continue adding remaining cream, a little at a time, until dough has come together in clumps and feels like a damp, but not sticky, slightly over-processed pastry dough.
  • Gather dough into a ball, then roll into a log. Wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes or longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut dough into quarters, then cut each quarter into 8 pieces. Lightly flour each piece as needed and feed through one of the thinnest settings of a pasta roller to make irregularly shaped, oblong crackers that are about 1/16 inch thick, 2 inches wide, and 8 inches long. Alternatively, use a rolling pin to roll dough out on a lightly floured countertop, and cut into any shape you wish.
  • Working in batches, lay crackers on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan.
  • Bake each batch in the preheated oven until crackers are browned at the edges, golden in the middle, and fully cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes. They will crisp as they cool.
