Tips for making the best goldfish crackers.
This recipe works best using a full fat cheddar cheese. You can use a sharp or extra sharp variety however for more flavor.
More helpful tips for you.
- If your dough sticks to the cutter, try spraying a bit of nonstick on the cutter. Cutting the crackers can take a bit of time (using a multi cutter helps here).
- Personalizing your crackers with seasoning can make them taste even better. Taco, Bacon, or Italian seasonings are ideas.
- Rotate the baking sheets in the oven halfway through baking for more even baking of all of the crackers.
- Lastly, while my crackers are in the shape of a goldfish, you can use another shape for variety. You can find ideas for small cutters here.
How to store homemade goldfish crackers.
These crackers should be stored in an airtight container. While they should keep for up to five days, you can try baking them for a few minutes as needed to crispin them up.
