DIY OYSTER CRACKERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder into a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add butter and using a pastry cutter or fingertips, work into flour until it resembles coarse meal. Add water and lightly knead dough until it comes together into a ball.
• Set dough on a lightly floured surface and cover with an overturned mixing bowl. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Roll dough out on a well floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut dough into 1/2-inch squares, rectangles, or diamonds. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and space the shapes out as much as possible.
• Bake until crackers are showing color around the bottom edges, about 15 minutes. Turn oven off and crack the door open about 8 inches. Leave crackers inside to cool and continue to crisp, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, season with salt, and allow to cool completely. Crackers can be stored in a sealed container for up to a week.
