One of my favorite childhood remakes I’ve made yet! These are gluten free, have nothing artificial, only require 3 ingredients to make.
We had fun with the star shapes, but you could totally shave off a step by using a cookie cutter to cut into traditional squares.
Serves: 16
Ingredients
- 6 oz Mild Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
- 3 Tbsp Butter, Unsalted
- 1/2 cup Cassava Flour
- 2 Tbsp Cassava Flour
- 3 Tbsp Water
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Process
- Pulse cheese, butter, and spices in a food processor
- Add flour and pulse more. It will be bread crumb consistency. Then –add 2-3 tbsp of water and pulse, continuously scraping the sides. You should be able to roll it between your hands like a dough. If it’s too crumbly add more water 1tbsp at a time
- Gather your dough and roll into 3 balls. Refrigerate at least an hour for easier handling
- Roll out your dough and let your kiddos use star cutters (or any shape you wish!) to create the crackers. Place on parchment paper and bake 15-17 minutes at 350. Let cool a few minutes and transfer to cooking rack to finish crisping.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge, since this version does actually contain real cheese that will spoil at room temp If after a couple days they soften just bake or air fry them a couple min to crisp them back up!
