What you'll need

  • Food processor — Blends cracker dough and energy bar bases in seconds — hard to do by hand.
  • Silicone baking mat — Roll cracker dough directly on the mat, then bake — nothing sticks, no mess.
  • Rolling pin — Roll crackers and cookie dough to an even, thin thickness for uniform baking.
  • Kitchen scale — Snack recipes — especially bars and crackers — are far more consistent by weight than volume.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, and salt.
  3. Add cold butter cubes and honey. Use fingers to work butter into flour mixture until crumbly.
  4. Stir in almond milk to form a dough. Knead briefly, then roll into 1/4-inch thickness.
  5. Cut into small fish shapes using a cookie cutter or knife. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.
