Ingredients
  

For the Crackers
  • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum omit if your flour blend already contains it
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter chilled and grated on a standard box grater
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese or other semi-hard cheese, grated on a standard box grater
  • 1/4 cup milk chilled, plus more if necessary

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour blend, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  2. Add the shredded butter and cheese. Stir to coat the cheese in the dry ingredients, breaking any large clumps of butter with the back of a spoon.
  3. Make a well in the center, pour in the 1/4 cup milk, and mix until the dry ingredients moisten and form clumps. Drizzle in more milk as needed to moisten dry patches.
  4. Using clean hands, squeeze the mixture into a cohesive ball.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  6. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Divide the dough, roll it out to about 1/4-inch thick, then cut into 1-inch squares.
  8. Place the pieces on baking sheets and bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet to crisp up before storing.

Notes

These cheese crackers are versatile and pair well with dips or on their own. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days or refrigerate for longer storage. Re-crisp in the oven if needed.
