CRISPY CRACKERS

Steps:

• Put the white flour, wheat flour, salt, and cold butter in food processor.
• Process well.
• Blend in the cold water.
• Mixture should be crumbly, yet hold its shape when pressed together.
• If too dry, add a little more water.
• Gather mixture into a ball.
• Roll out on lightly floured surface, to 1/8- or 1/4-inch thickness (Note: seeds, such as sesame, flax, or poppy, can be rolled into the dough at this point).
• Cut dough into desired shape.
• Place unbaked crackers onto greased cookie sheet.
• Prick tops with fork, then wet tops with a little water (The water makes them crispy. Too much water makes them tough).
• Bake in 400 degree oven for 10-14 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack.

HOMEMADE CHEDDAR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Put the Cheddar, flour, butter, salt, seasoned salt and cayenne in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles sand. Add the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into squares with a pizza cutter. Use a wooden skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each square. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow to cool before packing up.

SALT & VINEGAR CRISPS

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and slice thinly. It's tricky to get slices of the right thickness: either use a knife, slicing as thinly as you can without breaking, or a mandolin if you have one. Put the slices in a dish, cover with the vinegar and 1 tsp sea salt, and leave for 20 mins. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Drain the slices, pat dry gently with a tea towel and put them in a plastic food bag. Add the olive oil and 1 tsp sea salt. Jiggle the bag gently, then arrange the slices on two baking trays. Bake for about 30 mins, but check after 15 mins: you might need to swap the trays' positions or turn them around if one side is browning too quickly.
• While the potato slices are cooking, butter the bread and spread half the slices with a thin layer of ketchup. When the crisps are beautifully golden, remove from the oven, lay them on kitchen paper and sprinkle with more sea salt. Pile the crisps onto the ketchup-ed slices of bread in a double or triple layer. Add the top layer of buttered bread, cut off the crusts and eat immediately.

WHEAT CRISP CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix flour, sugar, salt, and paprika together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add butter and mix until small crumbs form. Slowly add water and mix until a semi-stiff dough forms. Divide dough in half.
• Roll on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch; cut into desired shapes and transfer to a baking sheet. Lightly prick each cracker a few times with a fork or toothpick. Sprinkle with additional salt. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and lightly bronzed in color, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cool and store or serve as desired.
