Cheese Crackers

Cheesy crackers
adapted from You Won't Believe It's Gluten Free

Ingredients:

4 oz goat cheddar cheese, shredded
4 T (1/4 c) Earth Balance vegan butter
3/4 c cornstarch
1/4 t sea salt
1/4 t xanthan gum
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
2 T goat milk

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.

Combine all the ingredients, except the milk, in a medium sized bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles a fine crumb. Add the milk and beat well.

On parchment paper or a lightly greased surface, pat out the dough to 1/8 in thickness. Cut into 3/4 in squares, use a tiny cookie cutter, or just cut into random small chunks. You can also cut the dough into larger round or square cracker shapes, if desired--just extend the baking time.

Prick the tops of the crackers with a fork and sprinkle lightly with your desired topping (I've tried salt and pepper or salt, pepper, and onion powder)

Bake on the prepared baking sheet until golden brown and crisp, approx 10 min. The crackers will be light and crispy, although barely browning at the edges. The bottom of the crackers will have a bit more color.

Makes approx 5 dozen small crackers
