Instruction
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons finely minced onion or shallot
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 to 1/2 cup cold water
Optional melted butter for brushing
Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, Parmesan, parsley, and minced onion.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water while mixing until a soft dough forms.
Wrap the dough and chill for 20 minutes.
Roll the dough into a thin sheet about 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into squares using a pizza cutter or knife.
Transfer the crackers to the prepared baking tray and prick each cracker several times with a fork.
Brush lightly with melted butter if desired.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
