Barefoot Contessa's Parmesan Black Pepper Crackers -Ina Garten

5.0(4)

I saw Ina make these on her cooking show. The episode was entitled "Bed and Breakfast". I made them and my husband said they are like a savory Parmesan cookie, because they are thicker than a cracker. They were super easy to make and taste nice! The house smelled of yummy parmesan, while they were baking.

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flourflour
1/4 teaspoon kosher saltsalt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leavethyme
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepperpepper

Instructions (8 steps)

01Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until creamy. (**I think this is where personal preference and maybe even altitude will effect the outcome of these crackers. I started out with 1 stick of butter, then blended all the other ingredients together. The "dough" was too crumbly and looked like a struesel topping that you would put on top of muffins or a coffee cake. The one stick of butter is what Ina calls for in her recipe. I think this is a typo. I added another 1/2 stick of butter to the flour mixture, and then beat it with the paddle attachment on my mixer. This is when the "dough" balled up and looked right. So, I think this recipe needs between 1 stick and 1 1/2 sticks. You might even get by with 1 1/4 sticks.).
02Add the Parmesan, flour, salt, thyme and pepper and combine.
03Dump the dough on a lightly floured board and roll into a 13-inch long log.
