Round House Farm Cheese Crackers

Well on the farm we try to make most of our food homemade. Store bought items like most bread and cracker products have added ingredients we don't want or need. I (mom) eat primarily a vegan diet but the others in our home eat a regular diet. But I try to conform most of our food choices around a vegan base.
So when I found a recipe for crackers I did put my own twist on it using vegan butter and for my use I substitute vegan Cheese and add nutritional yeast. They are just as good if not better. 
But really the basic is just take these simple ingrediants below and play with the spices till you find your favorite flavor. 

1 cup flour
4 tsp butter
3-6 oz cheese (if you are using a soft cheese use less)
2 tbls water

You take all ingrediants in processer till small chucks are formed. 

Then you can add any spices just try 1/2 tsp or less depending on the spice. Give it a few more pulses. Now you can add your water one tbls at a time till you get a ball. 
Now put on wax paper and place in fridge for about 20 mins. 
Now pre heat oven to 350. 

Roll out your crackers pretty thin. Then I take a pizza cuter and make small squares. 
Next you want to take a fork and press the four sides and then place them on a lined cookie sheet. They will not expand so they can be placed close together. 
After you fill the sheet you will take a toothpick and poke a whole in center of each one. 
Now you add more spice or salt at this time and then place in oven for 13 to 15 mins. I did turn mine after 13 mins then let them cook for another 3 mins. They came out great!
