Step by step recipe
Stage 1
3 min.
Put into a food-mixer bowl: 250 g flour, 30 g butter, 150 ml milk and 1 teaspoon fine (or table) salt.Stage 2
5 min.
Start on slow speed and knead until the dough is evenly mixed.Stage 3
1 hour
Gather the dough into a rectangular block, wrap in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.Stage 4
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...
Stage 5
Cut across into pieces 1 cm wide...Stage 6
Then cut again lengthways.Note: a rolling pizza cutter is ideal for this.
Stage 7
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.
Stage 8
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.
