I am back at home for Easter and I had forgotten whilst I was away how mad my family are about crackers. They love them; we munch on them for snacks all day long. They’re such good snack type food because they’re light and you can eat about five of them and not feel sick (unlike normal biscuits!).
I decided to make some myself so I made up this recipe for cheesy crackers that are really quick to make and I had all the ingredients already in the house! These crackers are delicious as they are not too greasy and they have a nice tangy flavour from the paprika.
The recipe is as follows:
100g flour
50g porridge oats
80g butter
1 tsp. paprika
Pepper and salt
1 handful of Parmesan
The oats add a nice texture to the biscuit whilst the flour helps to hold it altogether.
Start by placing the flour, oats and paprika into a bowl and mix together. Add a bit of salt and pepper and then the Parmesan. Finally place the butter in the bowl and mix the ingredients together with your hands to form a dough. The dough will feel quite soft so place it in the fridge for 20 minutes before rolling it out.
Once the dough has hardened up a bit roll it out to about 1cm thickness. Now cut out the biscuits in any shape you want- I just went for boring round ones. Place on a lined baking tray. Sprinkle a little bit of Parmesan over the top of the biscuits and a bit of pepper. If you wanted to, you could also add a bit of egg wash over the biscuits to make them crisp up even more in the oven. Put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C. They should look golden on top when they are out of the oven. Enjoy!
