Ingredients for Cheese Crackers:
Cheddar Cheese
Cheddar Cheese is the main ingredient of the cheese crackers. It gives a beautiful flaky texture to the crackers.
Wheat Flour
I am using wheat flour for the cheese crackers. We can also use APF. The golden color of the crackers is because of the Wheat flour. If you prefer a more white cracker replace wheat flour with APF. But I recommend Whole-wheat flour for the crackers.
Smoked Paprika powder
I am using the smoked paprika powder for the flavor. If you are not able to source you can replace it with chili powder or even we can add Cajun spice.
Milk
We use milk as the binding agent here. It combines all the ingredients. Always use milk in moderate, not more than the mentioned quantity.
Variations in Cheddar Cheese Crackers:
I have tried a basic version. We can fancify it with the ingredients of our choice.
- We can add red chili flakes or even add Italian seasoning.
- I am using Smoked Paprika powder. Instead of that, we can also use cajun session or chipotle seasoning.
- Indian spices can be added for Masala Cheese Crackers.
Storage suggestions
The crackers keep good at room temperature for 10 days. You can also freeze the dough for a month and bake the crackers.
