Preparation
- Step 1
In a food processor, combine ingredients, and pulse until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form it into a log 1½ inches in diameter. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
- Step 2
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two baking sheets. Cut log into ¼-inch-thick crackers, and place them an inch apart on sheets. Bake until firm, about 12 to 13 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven, and raise temperature to 500 degrees. When temperature comes up to correct heat, return sheets to oven, and bake for 3 minutes more, or until crackers are deeply golden brown all over. Let cool on a wire rack.

Top with a bit of sea salt before baking.
Really easy and tasty but take care on the last baking as they are easy o burn looking for derp golden brown and then they do not taste good at all.
Have made numerous times since I first cut the recipe from the NYT in Sept. 2003. Made them again last Sunday. They are always a great hit. Just make sure not to make any larger than 1 1/2 inch in diameter, and don't slice too thin.
I usually make them no larger than 1 inch, just one bite.
Added: 1/2 t. Chipotle chili powder 3/4 t. Campfire Salt Baked at 350 for 22 minutes Delicious!
They do need a little "zip". I add dashes of--wait for it--sriracha (Tabasco would also do) plus Worcestershire, and top with rosemary-lemon kosher salt. Also, these don't need an expensive and time-consuming second bake of 500F to caramelize: you can bake these in one take at a higher temperature (350F) for a little longer (~20 minutes). Rotate the pan half-way through and keep an eye on them. They're good!
These seem like they should be a good idea, but it’s like eating pie crust, and not in a good way. Zero stars from me.
