Homemade Ritz Crackers Recipe
Equipment
- Cuisinart Food Processor blade attachment
- Baking Stone
- Parchment Paper
- Cooling Rack
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour
- 3 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Salt
- 8 Tbsp Butter cold, divided
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- 1/3 cup Water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a Baking Stone or Rimmed Baking Sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.
- Add the blade attachment to the bowl of a Cuisinart Food Processor.
- To the bowl of a Cuisinart Food Processor, measure and then add 2 cups Flour, 2 tsp Baking Powder, 1 Tbsp Sugar, 1/2 tsp Salt and process for 10 seconds.
- Cut 6 Tbsp COLD butter into 1/4-inch cubes and then add the butter to the processor. Reserve 2 Tbsp for later.
- Pulse the processor to combine 6 Tbsp butter into the dry ingredients.
- Slowly add the 2 Tbsp Oil through the tube and process to mix.
- Slowly add the 1/3 cup Water through the tube and process to combine until a dough ball forms.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and roll out as thin as possible, using a rolling pin.
- Using a cookie cutout, cut out the cracker shapes and then transfer them to the parchment lined baking stones.
- Pole holes in each cracker, 2, 3 and 2. This is easiest with the point of a chopstick.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl, whisk with a fork, then brush the tops of all of the crackers with the egg.
- Sprinkle the tops with coarse salt.
- Bake the DIY Ritz Crackers for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a microwave safe bowl.
- Remove the crackers from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter immediately or rub the butter directly onto the crackers.
- Transfer the crackers to a cooling rack while still warm.
- Cool the DIY Ritz Crackers on a cooling rack complete before serving.
