Butter Crackers

These homemade butter crackers are a delightful alternative to shop-bought savoury biscuits, offering a superior flake and a rich, toasted flavour. By using a blend of white spelt, whole-wheat and oat flours, these crackers achieve a wonderful depth of taste and a satisfying crunch that pairs perfectly with sharp cheddar or a creamy brie. They are surprisingly simple to prepare, making them an excellent addition to any weekend baking repertoire.

As a versatile vegetarian snack, these crackers are ideal for hosting or as a wholesome addition to a lunchbox. The addition of a salty butter glaze immediately after baking ensures a professional finish and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Whether served as part of a seasonal cheese board or enjoyed on their own, these golden biscuits provide a comforting, homemade touch to your next gathering.

Ingredients for Butter Crackers

  • 40g (45 grams) white spelt or plain flour

  • 80g (90 grams) white whole-wheat flour

  • 30g (30 grams) oat or cake flour

  • 1 1/2 cucharaditas de polvo de hornear

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cane sugar

  • 1/2 cucharaditas de sal

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed or olive oil

  • 60ml (60g) ice water, divided

  • 1 huevo

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 1/4 cucharadita de sal

Preheat the oven to 204°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment and set aside.

Sift the white spelt flour, white whole-wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together. Pour into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the dough blade (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment). Add the chilled butter and pulse to create a coarse crumb mixture. With the food processor running, stream in the flaxseed oil, followed by the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture starts to form large clumps.

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gather it into a ball. Knead gently once or twice. Sprinkle a little more flour on top of the dough and roll it out until it is 1/4 inch thick, rotating the dough by 90 degrees after each roll.

Prick the dough all over with a fork, making sure it is well pierced. Using a small biscuit cutter of your choice, cut out the crackers and carefully place them on the prepared baking sheets.

In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg with the milk. Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of the crackers with the egg wash.

Bake just until the crackers begin to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.

While the crackers are baking, stir the melted butter and salt together in a small bowl. Brush the mixture onto the freshly baked, still warm crackers before serving.
