These delicious "crackers' are more like a savory shortbread cookie. I saw Ina Garten make these on the Food Network not long ago, and served them at a dinner recently. People went crazy for them! They are also in her Back to Basics cookbook. Read more The first recipe I posted for these crackers were called Black Pepper and Parmesan Crackers (or something like that) . This recipe is an improvement over the original, as it calls for more parmesan cheese, which makes the dough much easier to work with. Also, instead of grating the cheese, grind the Parmesan in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. These are to die for, and pairs well with white wine or a martini...or....! See less
Ingredients
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature shopping list
- 4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 cup) shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt shopping list
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (I use a little more) shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until creamy.
- Add the Parmesan, flour, salt, thyme and pepper and combine.
- Dump the dough on a lightly floured board and roll into a 13-inch long log.
- You may have to add a little bit of water to the dough as you form it as this dough is pretty crumbly.
- Wrap the log in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden (or leave in fridge overnight, if you want to get a head start on this recipe).
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the log crosswise into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices.
- Place the slices on a sheet pan and bake for 22 minutes.
