I wanted a something, but didn’t know what. Cookies? Brownies? Bread? Crackers! So I hunted down a recipe and went to work.
The recipe is easy peasy:
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (I lowered the amount from 1/2 teaspoon because I added cheese, which is salty)
2 tablespoons cold butter
1/4-1/2 cup water (more or less as needed)
4 ounces or so of shredded cheese
1 tablespoon coarsely ground garlic powder
cornmeal
flour for rolling out
Preheat oven to 400F and lightly cover a cookie sheet with cornmeal.
Dump the flour and salt into a bowl, then use a grater to shred the butter. Add it slowly and toss with the flour so that each strand gets coated separately. Add about half the cheese. Add enough water to bring everything together, then turn out on a floured board and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness (thinner = crispier). Place onto cookie sheet, sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheese, then score with a knife or cut into pieces with a pizza cutter.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Then NOM.
