Ingredients

Ritz Crackers

Cheddar Cheese Filling

Steps

1
Add the bread flour, chilled butter, baking powder, sugar, and salt to a food processor and pulse a few times, until the butter pieces are about the size of peas. If you don't have a food processor, you can gently work the dough together with your hands or use a pastry cutter.
2
Add in the water and pulse a few more times to incorporate. Don't overwork the dough.
3
Shape and chill your dough. Move the dough to a baking mat or another clean surface and press it together until it forms a ball. Flatten it into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
4
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5
While the dough is chilling, combine cheddar cheese and milk in a small saucepan over low heat, until the cheese is melted. Whisk or stir in the corn starch until the cheese starts to thicken, then transfer to a small bowl and place in the refrigerator.
6
Roll your chilled dough into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into rounds with a 1-inch fluted pastry ring or cookie cutter and carefully transfer to the baking sheet. The crackers don't really expand, so you can space them closely together.
7
Using a fork, pierce the crackers 2-3x each (this keeps them from puffing up too much in the oven). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush each cracker lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with salt.
8
Bake for about 15 minutes, until the crackers are crisp and brown on the bottom. Let them cool.
9
While the crackers bake, break apart the cooled cheese mixture into chunks and pulse in the food processor for about 10 seconds, until smooth. Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag or a plastic bag and cut off the tip.
10
Pipe about 1/2 teaspoon of cheese filling between two crackers and sandwich together. Repeat with all crackers. Enjoy!
