Homemade Crackers
Description
The cracker dough combines flour, salt, pepper, dried basil, and finely grated Parmesan cheese for flavor depth, with softened butter and heavy cream providing moisture and a tender, flaky texture. After rolling the dough thinly, shapes are cut out and each is pricked with a fork to prevent puffing while baking at 400°F until the edges brown and the crackers become crisp.
These crackers offer a balance of cheesy savoriness and herbal hints with a crunchy texture from the precise baking time. They can be shaped variably, making them suitable for serving with spreads or as a stand-alone snack. Cooling them on the baking sheet preserves their crispness.
