Chicken in a Biskit Crackers®

Source of Recipe


From "Classic Snacks Made from Scratch" by Casey Barber



List of Ingredients



• ¼ cup vegetable oil
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 2 cups (8½ ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
  
• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  
• 1½ tsp buttermilk powder
  
• 1½ tsp natural chicken bouillon powder
  
• ¼ tsp baking soda
  
• ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
  
• 4 Tbsp (2 ounces) chilled unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat liners.
   
   
2. Whisk the vegetable oil and eggs together in a small bowl; set aside.
   
   
3. In a food processor or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together the flour, sugar, buttermilk powder, bouillon, baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt for a few seconds until combined. Add the butter cubes and pulse in 3-second on/off turns in the food processor or stir at medium speed with the stand mixer until a crumbly dough forms, resembling moist cornmeal. Add the oil and egg mixture and continue to pulse/stir until a soft dough forms.
   
   
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape into four discs. Dust one of the discs liberally with flour and roll it into a rough 10- x 5-inch rectangle no more than â…›-inch thick. (Make it as thin as you can, since the crackers will puff up when baked.) Slice into 2½- by 1-inch rectangles using a fluted pastry cutter, or cut your own cracker shapes with cookie cutters. Transfer the crackers to a prepared baking sheet. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the rest of the dough. Poke holes in the crackers using a toothpick or cocktail fork, then sprinkle them with kosher salt.
   
   
5. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until hints of golden brown appear around the edges. Watch carefully! Transfer the baked crackers to a wire rack and let cool completely. Store the crackers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.
