Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp + another 1/2 tsp salt for topping
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
1 egg - beaten (optional for egg wash)

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 400 F and line baking sheets with parchment paper. 2 Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1/2 tsp of salt to the food processor and pulse to combine. 3 Add cold butter a few small pats at a time, and pulse to combine then, with food processor running, add vegetable oil slowly. 4 Add water a little bit at a time while pulsing. The dough should start to form a ball. 5 On a floured surface, split the dough in half and roll dough out as thin as you can, adding more flour if needed when it sticks. 6 Use cookie cutters / ravioli stamp to cut the dough out and add cut outs to baking sheets. Continue to roll out dough and cut out crackers until all the dough is used up. 7 Poke holes in each of the crackers, 2 across top, 3 across the middle, and 2 across the bottom. 8 Brush the cracker cut outs with the egg wash and sprinkle with a flaky sea salt.* 9 Bake in oven for 10 minutes in the center rack. 10 Cool and enjoy!
