Cheese Caraway Crackers

Directions

1. 1
   Grate cheese and cut the very cold butter into small cubes.
2. 2
   Place cheese, butter, flour, and salt in a food processor and pulse a few times until everything is crumbly.
3. 3
   Taste the pastry and add more salt if you wish; it should be on the saltier side.
4. 4
   Form a ball, wrap it plastic foil and refrigerate for 1 hour.
5. 5
   Preheat oven to 180 degrees C (350 degrees F).
6. 6
   Line two baking trays with baking paper.
7. 7
   Roll the pastry on a floured surface (it is easier to do this in 2 batches) and cut the pastry into batons using a very sharp knife.
8. 8
   Place the crackers onto the baking tray and brush them with egg wash. Sprinkle with caraway seeds.
9. 9
   Sesame seeds or salt can be used instead, but caraway tastes best in this case.
10. 10
    Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes, but keep an eye on them.
