Totally addictive! So crunchy, cheesy, utterly delicious. Make a double batch. I always do since they disappear before my guests arrive! It’s my best party snack.

Ingredients
  

80 crackers

  • 100 grams oats
  • 140 grams plain flour
  • 150 grams cheddar cheese grated
  • 50 grams Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt plus extra for sprinkling
  • 1 Tbsp poppy seeds
  • 125 grams cold butter cut into 1 cm cubes
  • 80 grams cold water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C fan. Put oats, flour, cheddar cheese, parmesan, paprika, pepper, cayenne, salt and poppy seeds in the bowl of a food processor with a metal blade. Pulse a few seconds to mix.
  • Add the butter to the bowl and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the cold water and pulse again until the mixture starts to come together and form a dough. Don’t overdo it.
  • Put dough on the kitchen counter and gather to a round disc. Divide into two parts. Lightly sprinkle with flour and roll each piece into a rectangle (or whatever shape you like, it doesn’t matter), 2-3 millimeters thick.
  • With a pizza cutter (or better with a wavy cutter) cut strips and then squares of about 4-5 cm. With a wooden skewer, “drill” 5 holes on each cracker (not with the pointed side).
  • Line two or three oven trays with non-stick paper. Place crackers on the baking pans, about 1 cm from each other. Sprinkle very lightly with a little sea salt. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
  • Cool on a wire rack. Resist the temptation to eat them right away as the crackers may be soft right out of the oven. But they will become very crunchy once cool.
  • You will make about 80 crackers. Store them in a cookie jar.
