Equipment

  • 1 Food processor
  • 1 Goldfish cutter

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese sharp, (don't used pre-shredded!)
  • 4 tbsps butter
  • 2 tbsps hemp hearts
  • 2 tbsps nutritional yeast
  • 2-3 tablespoon ice cold water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, add the flour, cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, hemp hearts, and cold butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, just until the dough starts to form a bit. It will still be crumbly.
  • Transfer the dough to a bowl or surface and knead to form it into a ball. Cover with saran wrap and place in the fridge for ten minutes.
  • Remove the dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll it out until about ¼-inch thick.
    Use a small fish-shaped cutter (or any small cutter) to cut out crackers and place them on the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly golden and crisp. Be careful not to over cook them, they can burn quickly!
  • Let cool completely on the baking sheet, they will continue to crisp as they cool.
