Ice Water Crackers Recipes

ICE WATER CRACKERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Soak crackers, 3 at a time, in ice water in a large bowl until they start to soften slightly, about 1 minute. Carefully remove crackers to a doubled tea towel. Let drain 5-8 minutes.
• Pour the butter into a 13X9 baking dish. Gently place crackers in the dish in an single layer.
• Bake 15-20 minutes until lightly browned and crisp, checking regularly to prevent burning.
• Remove crackers to a cooling rack and cool completely.

PARMESAN-ROSEMARY ICEBOX CRACKERS

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, pepper, and rosemary in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add cheese; pulse until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of the sour cream at a time, pulsing each time to combine. Process until dough comes together and is well combined.
• Transfer dough to a work surface. Shape dough into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Slice chilled log into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer slices to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dip a sprig of rosemary into egg white, and place in center of a cracker slice; repeat with remaining rosemary and crackers. Bake immediately, rotating sheet once, until crackers are golden brown and firm in the center, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.

WHITE CHEDDAR AND CHIVE CRACKERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and cheddar and pulse until well combined and the consistency is crumbly, with the butter and cheese broken down to uniform pieces throughout. Add the chives and red pepper flakes and pulse to combine.
• Add 3 tablespoons of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together. It should hold together on its own but crumble when you press it between 2 fingers. If the dough is still too dry, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired texture is reached.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap. Transfer the dough to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Set 2 baking sheets in the refrigerator to chill while the dough is resting.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon cold water. Set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to ⅛-inch thick, pinching together any cracks around the edges. Using a 2-inch leaf and/or star cutter, punch out as many crackers as you can. Gather up the dough scraps and roll out again, repeating the process up to 3 times.
• Line the chilled baking sheets with parchment paper, then transfer the crackers to the pans. Brush the crackers with the egg wash.
• Bake the crackers for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely, then store in an airtight container at room temperature (with a silica packet inside to absorb excess moisture) for up to 5 days.
• Enjoy!
