Homemade Cheez-its

Author: Marinka
The same addictive flavor, but these homemade cheez-its are fresher than fresh and you can adjust them just the way you like. Change the type of cheese or spices and these will be your cheez-its.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Transfer cheese, flour, turmeric and salt to the bowl of a food processor. Blend until combined.
  • Add the butter that you cut in smaller pieces first.
  • Add water and pulse until the dough comes together.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll out to a thin rectangle (about 1/16″).
  • Use a pastry cutter and cut the dough into 1-inch squares. You can use either side of the pastry cutter, but the one with the beveled wheel will create the fluted edges on the cheez-its.
  • Transfer the squares to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and use a skewer or chopstick to poke holes in the middle of the cheeze-it.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. (NOTE 1)
  • Allow to cool.

Notes

  1. My advice is to check at 15 minutes and then add 1 minute increments in cooking time until you reach the correct color/doneness. A minute too long can mean that you burn the cheese crackers.
