Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- Mix the flour, salt and cumin, then work in the cold diced butter.
- Gradually add the water to get a soft dough that isn't sticky.
- Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out very thinly, almost see-through, on the baking paper.
- Prick the surface with a fork and sprinkle with seeds if you're using them.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden and crisp.
- Let them cool on a rack: they become perfectly crunchy.
Variations and tips
Cheese version. Sprinkle grated parmesan on top before baking for a tastier cracker.
