Frequently asked questions about homemade crackers.
I am personally not a tolerant person when it comes to crackers that are not crisp (yuck!). However, things do happen and crackers can lose their crunch.
Proper baking and storing are the easiest ways to insure that your crackers are crisp as moisture can be the enemy to crisp crackers. Also important, in this recipe especially, is to use real butter that is also cold (think pie crust here!).
This is a copycat version of a popular bite sized cracker that many of us grew up eating. However, unlike the inspiring recipe, this recipe is keto low carbohydrate diet friendly.
Instead of using the all purpose flour that is used in making crackers, this recipe uses a low carbohydrate almond flour. The other added ingredients (cheese, butter, etc) are also low in carbohydrates or carbohydrate free.
Tips for making homemade 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.
- 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 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.
