Homemade Saltine Crackers

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the softened butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate until crumbly.
4. Slowly add water while mixing until the dough just comes together — smooth, not sticky.
5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 1–2 minutes.
6. Divide dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion very thin — the thinner, the crispier!
7. Place dough on prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to prick holes all over (classic cracker look + prevents puffing).
8. Brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil.
9. Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
10. Use a pizza cutter to cut into squares or rectangles.
11. Bake 10–15 minutes, or until edges turn golden brown.
12. Let cool completely — they crisp up more as they cool.
