Description
If you really want to impress with your appetizers this holiday, make your own buttery dill crackers that pairs perfectly with rich Aged Havarti cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons cold butter, diced
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup Castello Aged Havarti Cheese, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely hopped {or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill}
- 3–4 tablespoons heavy cream or half & half, cold
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor or blender, pulse together butter, flour, salt, onion powder and dill.
- Add cream or half & half and pulse a few more times until the mixture begins to form a ball or looks like clumpy, wet sand.
- Turn mixture out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk. {I like to roll my dough out at this point by covering the dough with a second sheet of plastic wrap and rolling to desired thickness. I find it easier when the dough is soft.} Wrap well and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness {or thinner if desired} if you haven’t rolled it out already. Using a cookie cutter or a pizza cutter, cut out or slice into desired shapes. Place on prepared baking pan. Prick the tops of each cracker a few times with the tines of a fork.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops begin to turn a light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
