These rustic, savoury crackers are a delightful fusion of Scottish culinary traditions and the pure, briny flavour of Isle of Skye Sea Salt. With wholesome oats and a generous sprinkling of hand-harvested sea salt, these crackers are a delightful snack or accompaniment to soups and dips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (100g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (5g) Isle of Skye Sea Salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup (60ml) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/3 cup (80ml) cold water
- 1 tbsp (15ml) honey (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse the oats a few times until coarsely ground. Add flour, 1 tsp Isle of Skye Sea Salt, and baking powder. Pulse to combine.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and honey (if using). Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- With the machine running, slowly add the cold water until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll or pat into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut into 2x4 inch rectangles or desired shapes. Arrange crackers on the pre-prepared baking tray, spacing slightly apart.
- Lightly brush or spritz the tops with water and sprinkle generously with additional Isle of Skye Sea Salt.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Allow to cool completely on wire racks.
- Serve crackers alongside soups, dips, cheeses or enjoy them on their own for a delightfully rustic Scottish-inspired snack.
