Air Fried Cheddar Crackers

Ingredients

• 100 g Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 50 g All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Cold butter, cubed
• 2 tbsp Ice water (approx.)
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.125 tsp Paprika (optional)

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine grated cheddar, flour, salt, and paprika. Pulse a few times to combine.
2. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together.
3. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly (about 1-2 mm). Cut into small squares or use a cookie cutter. Prick each cracker with a fork.
5. Preheat air fryer to 170°C. Place crackers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches.
6. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. They will crisp up further as they cool.
