Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup dill weed
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
- Add the softened butter to the dry ingredient mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until a cohesive dough forms. The dough should be firm but not sticky.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately 1/8 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 2-inch square crackers. You can also use a cookie cutter for more uniform shapes.
- Carefully transfer the cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each cracker.
- Use a fork to prick small holes in each cracker, which helps prevent them from puffing up during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect dough consistency.
- Use fresh, high-quality dried dill weed for maximum flavor impact.
- Roll the dough evenly to guarantee uniform baking and crispy texture.
- Don't skip pricking the crackers with a fork - this prevents unwanted puffing and ensures a crisp finish.
- Watch the crackers closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Let the crackers cool completely to achieve maximum crunchiness.
- For extra flavor, consider sprinkling some sea salt on top before baking.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain their delightful crispness.
