Name: Crackers
Prep time: 1 h 28 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 1 h 38 min
Yield: 100 Crackers
Cuisine: french
Ingredients: 250 g flour; 30 g butter; 150 ml milk; 1 teaspoon fine (or table) salt

Step by step recipe:

3 min.
Put into a food-mixer bowl: 250 g flour, 30 g butter, 150 ml milk and 1 teaspoon fine (or table) salt.
5 min.
Start on slow speed and knead until the dough is evenly mixed.
1 hour
Gather the dough into a rectangular block, wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Roll out the dough thinly (2 or 3 mm) using a rolling pin. The ideal width is about 15 cm (6 inches).

This the trickiest stage, as it is quite difficult to roll out...
Cut across into pieces 1 cm wide...
Then cut again lengthways.

Note: a rolling pizza cutter is ideal for this.
20 min.
This should give you crackers of around 1 x 5 cm.

Arrange them on a baking sheet as you go.

For a glossier finish, you can moisten the crackers with a brush dipped in water then sprinkle them with salt.
10 min.
Bake for around 10 minutes, watching for coloration. Do not let them brown too much.

Remarks:

You can vary these crackers by adding seeds to the dough (sesame, millet, poppy) or a little grated cheese (Comté, Gruyère, Parmesan).

A tip to make life easier: if you have a pasta machine, it is ideal for rolling the dough thinly and evenly.
