Time:<\/span> About 20 minutes<\/p>\n 1 cup all-purpose flour, more as needed<\/p>\n 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n 4 tablespoons unsalted butter<\/p>\n 1\/4 cup cream or half-and-half, more as needed<\/p>\n Coarse salt, pepper, sesame or poppy seeds, minced garlic or whatever you like for sprinkling (optional).<\/p>\n <\/span><\/div>\n 1. <\/span> Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with flour. Put flour, salt, cheese and butter in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until flour and butter are combined. Add about 1\/4 cup cream or half-and-half and let machine run for a bit; continue to add liquid a teaspoon at a time, until mixture holds together but is not sticky.<\/p>\n 2. <\/span> Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until 1\/2-inch thick or even thinner, adding flour as needed. Transfer sheet of dough to prepared baking sheet (drape it over rolling pin to make it easier). Score lightly with a sharp knife, pizza cutter or a pastry wheel if you want to break crackers into squares or rectangles later on. Sprinkle with salt or other topping if you like.<\/p>\n 3. <\/span> Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature or store in a tin for a few days.<\/p>\n Yield<\/span>: About 4 servings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Published: February 2, 2009 in The New York Times (Mark Bitman) Time: About 20 minutes 1 cup all-purpose flour, more as needed 1\/2 teaspoon salt 1\/2 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1\/4 cup cream or half-and-half, more as needed Coarse salt, pepper, sesame or poppy seeds, minced garlic or whatever […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[36,44],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":685,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540\/revisions\/685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dspencer.net\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
