These savory herb crackers are a delightful snack, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Combine the flour, salt, butter, herbs, and pepper in a food processor.
Use cold butter for a flakier texture.
Pulse the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Avoid overmixing to keep the dough light.
Slowly add the water while the processor is running until the dough forms a ball.
Add water gradually to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to less than 1/8 inch thickness.
Ensure even thickness for uniform baking.
Transfer the rolled dough to an ungreased cookie sheet and prick it all over with a fork.
Pricking prevents the dough from puffing up during baking.
Score the dough lightly with a knife to create cracker shapes, or leave it whole for breaking into shards later.
Scoring makes it easier to break into even pieces after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned.
Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Cool the crackers on a rack before storing them in an airtight container.
Cooling completely prevents them from becoming soggy.
