Method

  1. Heat the oven to 140°C/120°C fan/gas 1 and line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Beat the egg mixture into the dry mixture, then stir in most of the the cheese, setting aside a handful. 
  2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface, roll out to 2mm thick, or as thin as you can, then scatter with the remaining cheese. Roll again, then cut into large shards. 
  3. Carefully lift the crackers onto the baking sheet using a metal spatula, then roll again briefly to flatten. Bake for 45 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  1. Cheddar works well too. Or if you don’t like cheese, add a touch more salt in step 1.
