Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Preheat oven to 375. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, Maple Bacon sea salt (optional), cayenne pepper.
Using 2 knives or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cheese and bacon.

Mix in milk to form dough ball
Using a small cookie scoop, place balls of dough about an inch apart. Using the bottom of a glass, dipped in flour, OR the tines of a fork - squish the ball so it is flat.
It should be fairly thin but not too thin.
Bake at 375 for about 16 minutes. I baked for 8 minutes, rotated cookie sheet, and then another 8 minutes. The edges and top will be a little bit brown. Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack.
This recipe made 60 crackers with me using the small cookie scoop (about 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp of dough). You can half the recipe if you want but, trust me, you will want to make lots of these. They will disappear quic
