Prep Time:
1 hour, 5 minutes
Cook Time:
25 minutes
Servings:
30 Crackers
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated and chilled
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 F.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the almond flour, mustard powder, paprika, sea salt, and cayenne, if using.
  3. Add the grated cheddar and butter cubes, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add the beaten egg and pulse until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
  6. Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it to ⅛-inch thickness.
  7. Cut the dough into desired shapes with a sharp knife or cookie cutter; the typical design includes a small hole made with a skewer in the middle of the cracker.
  8. Slide the crackers along with the bottom parchment sheet onto a baking sheet.
  9. Bake at 325 F for 20-25 minutes until the edges turn golden, rotating halfway.
  10. Using parchment paper, transfer the crackers onto a wire rack.
  11. Let the crackers cool completely about 30 minutes to 1 hour on a wire rack before cutting them again with a knife or dough cutter.
  12. Serve, sprinkled with flaky sea salt if desired.
