Ingredients
- 1-3/4 cup almond flour blanched and super-fine works best
- 1/4 cup powdered cheese plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling on top of the crackers
- 2 tablespoons salted butter or ghee room temperature
- 1 egg room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Start by mixing the almond flour and powdered cheese together in a bowl. Mix in room temperature butter or ghee and room temperature egg.
- Place dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Press dough down and cover with a second sheet of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out until it reaches a thickness of approximately 1/6" to 1/8" (3 mm to 4 mm). For a crispier cracker, thin dough out a little extra.
- Remove top sheet of parchment paper, and use a pizza cutter to slice dough into approximately 1"x1" squares (25 mm x 25 mm).
- Sprinkle salt and 1 tablespoon of powdered cheese on top of the dough, and gently press into surface of dough.
- Use the top sheet of parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Move squares to the baking sheet, ensuring that there is a little space between each square. Bake dough for 12-14 minutes, or until edges begin to brown. For crispier crackers, you can bake an additional minute or two.
- NOTE: Cook time varies greatly depending on your oven and the thickness. It's best to watch the crackers so they do not burn.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully before handling, as they will be soft while still warm. Store in an air-tight container for 4-5 days at room temperature. They are best enjoyed in the first few days, when they are the crispiest.
