35 minFive ingredients. No mixer. Crackers that’ll make the store-bought stuff feel embarrassed.
Sharp cheddar and butter get kneaded together with flour, salt, and caraway seeds, then shaped into little clusters and baked until golden and crisp.
The caraway adds an earthy, almost rye-bread flavor that pairs ridiculously well with the sharp cheese.
This recipe makes about five dozen, which sounds like a lot until you realize how fast they vanish.
Pro Tips
- Use the sharpest cheddar you can find. Mild cheese makes mild crackers, and nobody wants that.
- Keep the clusters thin, about a quarter inch. Thicker ones won’t get that satisfying snap.
- Store in an airtight container and use within 3 days. They soften quickly once exposed to air.
