Ingredients
  • 2 cup Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Salt; approximately
  • 2 tablespoon Butter; chilled
  • 2/3 cup Milk, plus droplets more if
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Stir to blend well.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    Trim the uneven edges and lift the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet.
  7. 7
    Use a sharp knife to score the dough into 2-inch squares, cutting almost through the dough.
  8. 8
    Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
  9. 9
    Remove from the oven and with a large spatula loosen the squares and turn them over.
  10. 10
    Return to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes, or until the edges are well browned.
  11. 11
    Remove from the oven and slide the sheet onto racks to cool.
  12. 12
    Break the crackers apart when cool.
