Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sour cream
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons dried chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crackers.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, sour cream, garlic powder, dried chives, and salt. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, creamy dough consistency.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Pour the dough onto a baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a very thin layer. The layer should be thin enough so that you cannot see through to the bottom of the baking sheet.
- Bake the dough: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the dough turns a light golden brown.
- Score the crackers: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a plastic pizza cutter or a similar tool to gently score the dough into squares. Be careful not to damage the baking sheet.
- Flip and bake again: Using a spatula, carefully flip each cracker-sized piece over. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to brown the other side evenly.
- Cool and serve: Take the crackers out of the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The crackers will become crispier as they cool. Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is spread very thinly for optimal crispness.
- Use a plastic pizza cutter to avoid scratching your baking sheet.
- Allow crackers to cool fully to maximize their crunch.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to adjust dried chives to your taste for stronger or milder onion flavor.
