Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Stir to blend well.
-
Cut the chilled butter into small pieces and add to the dry mixture. Using fingertips or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles fine crumbs.
-
Slowly stir in the milk, adding enough so the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Add a few drops more milk if the dough seems dry; it should be soft and pliable, not wet and sticky.
-
Divide the dough in half. Lightly dust a surface with flour. Roll each half out to a square approximately 13 x 13 inches and thinner than 1/8 inch.
-
Trim the uneven edges and lift the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
-
Use a sharp knife to score the dough into 2-inch squares, cutting almost through the dough.
-
Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
-
Remove from the oven and with a large spatula loosen the squares and turn them over.
-
Return to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes, or until the edges are well browned.
-
Remove from the oven and slide the sheet onto racks to cool.
-
Break the crackers apart when cool.
