Rosemary and Pecorino Butter Crackers
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted, Cold Butter, Cubed
- 1 cup All Purpose Flour, Sifted
- 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 3/4 cups Pecorino Cheese, Finely Grated
- 3 Tablespoons Fresh Rosemary Leaves
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1/4 cups IPA Beer (or Cream)
- 1 Tablespoon Coarse Sea Salt
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set aside.
- In the bowl of your food processor, with the blade attached, combine the butter, flour, fine sea salt, Pecorino cheese, rosemary leaves and pepper.
- Pulse until you get a crumbly, flaky consistency.
- While the food processor is on, slowly drizzle in the beer (or cream) until the dough begins to form a ball around the blade.
- Dump the dough onto a lightly flour-dusted surface.
- Knead the dough a couple of times then form into a ball and cut in two.
- One at a time, roll out the dough with a lightly dusted rolling pin to about 18 inch thick or even thinner if you would like (they will puff up a bit).
- Cut the shapes out of your dough (I used a scalloped, rounded cookie cutter) and reserve the rest of the dough.
- Re-roll out and repeat the process until you have almost no dough left.
- Repeat for your other ball of dough.
- Lay the shapes out on your baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between each cracker.
- Poke each cracker with a fork and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until the crackers begin to brown.
- Remove from oven and transfer immediately to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve with desired toppings or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Suggested toppings: figs, honey, and gouda; avocado, cucumber and tomato; various cheese spreads or jams.
