Butter Crackers Made With Fresh Milled Flour (Club Cracker Copycat)

These butter crackers made with fresh milled flour are the perfect balance of salty and just a tad bit of sweetness. They make the perfect compliment to soup or just layer with slices of cheese and meat. I can imagine an adorable charcuterie board, these homemade butter crackers give that rustic special charm!

Ingredients
  

  • 2&1/2 cup fresh milled flour 300g I milled soft white wheat for this.
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 TBSP honey
  • 1 tsp salt plus some for sprinkling on top after baked
  • 1/2 cup cold butter 113g
  • 2/3 cup milk 166g
  • 2 TBSP butter 28g melted for brushing the baked crackers

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, mill the flour.
  • Then, add baking powder and salt to the flour, and mix until combined.
  • Cut cold butter into small cubes.
  • In a stand mixer, mix the flour mixture and cold butter cubes until crumbly.
  • Add honey start mixing, and slowly add milk. You may need slightly more or less milk, mix until it starts to form a cohesive ball.
  • Then, cover the dough and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Preheat the oven to 400*F.
  • Get dough out of fridge, and cut in half. It is easier to work with a smaller piece of dough. Let it warm just a bit to room temp while working with it. (It will make it easier to work with.)
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. We rolled some out by hand, and rolled some with a pasta sheeter attachment on my kitchen aid. I couldn't believe how well the pasta sheeter worked!
  • Once rolled out, use a pizza cutter to cut into 1.5x3 inch rectangles, then place on the lined baking sheet.
  • I used the back of a toothpick to put 6 small holes in the cracker dough to give the crackers that iconic Club Cracker look.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the crackers are light golden brown.
  • Melt the 2 TBSP of butter while the crackers are baking.
  • Once out of the oven, brush the crackers with the melted butter, then sprinkle with salt to taste.
  • Remove from baking tray to let cool on a cooling rack. Let cool completely, the crackers with crisp up as they cool.
