Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 stick butter
3 oz grated parmesan ( i use 1 cup )
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
about 3 tablespoons water

Steps:

1. Place butter in a bowl of an electric mixer (paddle attachment) and mix until creamy. Add Parmesan, flour, salt, thyme and pepper and combine. Add water as needed to form a ball of dough.
2. Dump the dough on a large piece of plastic wrap. Lightly flour and roll into a 13-inch long log. Wrap the log in the plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the log crosswise, with a sharp knife, into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. I like thin slices for a crunchier cracker. Place slices on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper and bake for 22 minutes. Substitute thyme for: 1 tsp rosemary and garlic powder or: 1 tsp Greek seasoning or: Lemon zest and lemon juice (no water)
