Cheese Crackers
The recipe comes from Mark Bittman's 'How to cook everything Vegetarian'. I took the basic recipe of crackers and prepared these cheese crackers since my kids love those commercially sold ones.
The plain crackers happened to be very bland to my taste. I felt that they were good substitutes for the hard poories used in Indian chaat recipes.
I halved the below recipe of basic crackers for one more batch and also added about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. The kids said they loved them but recommended more addition of cheese to it. Since the crackers could be baked in no time, I want to try next time with some changes to the basic recipe.
Ingredients for the basic recipe:
1 cup four + some for dusting
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter / oil
Water
1. Preheat the oven to 4oo deg F. Lightly dust a baking pan with flour.
2. Combine all the ingredients using a food processor or by hand. Then gradually add the water until the mixture holds together. The dough should be firm not sticky.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface until 1 /4 inch thick or even thinner.
4. Score lightly with a knife to shape them into squares / rectangles.
5. Transfer them to the pan and bake them until lightly browned about 10 minutes or so. Cool on a rack.
These are going to 'Baking from the Book' event guest hosted by me this month, event creator being Champa.

Both the crackers look very delicious.Kids sure are the right critics when it comes to judge the taste for these snacks.
Suma, that sounds good, but I dont see cheese in the ingredients, did you miss to type it?
