Instructions

Step 1
Sift the flour twice. The cracker recipe does not include baking powder, so the flour should be well aerated. Add salt, grated butter (on a coarse grater), and cheese to the flour.

Step 2
Mix everything until crumbly. Pour in the milk. Add enough milk so the mixture starts to come together. The amount needed depends greatly on the flour's moisture. I can confidently use 100 ml of milk as a base, but the rest should be added gradually. I used about 150 ml of milk in total. Knead the dough thoroughly by hand or with a mixer, and do it quickly before the butter melts.

Step 3
We'll end up with dough like this. There's no need to cool or partially freeze it. Divide the dough into 4 parts.

Roll out each piece of dough into a 1 mm thick sheet. Cut out cookies using cookie cutters.

Step 5
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the crackers on it. Brush with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, or spices). Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Step 6
Bake the crackers in the oven for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Then remove from the oven. Place in a single layer on the table and let cool. Hot crackers piled together become soft and lose their crunch. The crackers must cool completely so that each cracker lies separately.
