How to Make Homemade Goldfish Crackers

  1. In a food processor, combine flour, cold butter, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. With the food processor running, gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together and forms a ball. Do not overmix.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 24 hours for a richer flavor).
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness.
  6. Use a 1-inch cookie cutter or a sharp knife/pizza cutter to cut out the crackers. Reroll scraps as needed.
  7. Arrange the crackers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
  9. Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
