4-Ingredient Homemade Goldfish Crackers

4-Ingredient Homemade Goldfish Crackers combine a flaky, buttery texture with a sharp cheddar cheese flavor. The dough is made by pulsing flour, cold butter, and grated cheddar in a food processor until coarse crumbs form, then adding just enough water to bring the dough together. After chilling, the dough is rolled very thin and cut into fish shapes, scored for eyes and mouths with a toothpick, then baked until crisp and golden. The thin rolling gives the crackers a delicate crunch that holds its shape well.

This recipe produces homemade crackers that resemble the classic goldfish shape and cheese taste. They can be enjoyed as a snack on their own or paired with dips. The dough can be made ahead and kept refrigerated briefly, but for longer storage it’s best frozen and baked off in small batches to maintain crispness and freshness.
