Wiley Kat can testify to the terribleness that was the last buttery cracker I attempted. It was horrific. Ugh. I don't even want to think about it....the stuff of nightmares.
These on the other hand....WOW! I will be making these again, for sure!
Homemade Ritz
What's In It:
2 c flour
2 t cream of tartar
1 t baking soda
1 T sugar
1/2 t salt + 1/2 t salt for top
6 T cold butter (sliced into thin pats) + 3 T melted butter for top
2 T oil
1/3-2/3 c water
What To Do With It:
Preheat oven to 400 degress F.
The original recipe calls for a food processor, but since I haven't bought a new one to break yet, I used my mixer. Do what'ch'ya feel.
Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Beat in butter.
Beat in vegetable oil.
Add water a little bit at a time. Once the dough started to look pretty sticky, I stopped. I only added 1/3c.
On a floured surface, roll out dough as thin as you can. I'd say it was nearly 1/8".
Cut the dough into desired shape/size. I'm boring and used a pizza cutter. Do what'ch'ya feel.
Poke holes in each cracker.
Transfer to a lined cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until they just begin to brown.
Combine melted butter with 1/2 t salt. Brush tops of crackers as soon as they come out of the oven.
Cool on wire rack.
YAY for buttery crackers!!!
I think these bad boys are going to beg me to become the topping to a Sandy's Casserole very soon! :)
