   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5             ounces  all-purpose flour -- (1C)
   1           teaspoon  kosher salt
   1           teaspoon  sugar
   1           teaspoon  baking powder
   2        tablespoons  cold unsalted butter -- cut into 1/4" cubes
      1/3           cup  cold water -- plus additional as needed

The recipe can be easily doubled. Spread pieces across two baking 
sheets. Add 5-10 minutes to total baking time, rotating sheets half 
way through.

Active: 20 min
Total: 80 min
Yield: 2C
Makes: approx 12 servings

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375F. Measure 
flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder into a medium bowl and whisk to 
combine. Add butter and using a pastry cutter or fingertips, work 
into flour until it resembles coarse meal. Add water and lightly 
knead dough until it comes together into a ball.

Set dough on a lightly floured surface and cover with an overturned 
mixing bowl. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.

Roll dough out on a well floured surface to a thickness of 1/8". Cut 
dough into 1/2" squares, rectangles, or diamonds. Transfer to a 
parchment-lined baking sheet and space the shapes out as much as possible.

Bake until crackers are showing color around the bottom edges, about 
15 minutes. Turn oven off and crack the door open about 8". Leave 
crackers inside to cool and continue to crisp, about 30 minutes. 
Remove from oven, season with salt, and allow to cool completely. 
Crackers can be stored in a sealed container for up to a week.

Note: Rather than coat the surface of the crackers with an envelope 
of salad dressing mix, this is an excellent opportunity to make your 
own signature flavor with seasonings such as dried herbs or black 
pepper mixed right into the dough.
