RITZ PEANUT BUTTER CRACKERS

Peanut Butter cracker sandwiches were one of my obsessions as a kid growing up. Now that I'm a big kid, I still love the all too familiar flavor. This homemade recipe might just be better than the original. When you bite into those fresh, buttery crackers you'll understand what I mean!

Ingredients

Butter Crackers

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil*
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ teaspoons salt

Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches

  • peanut butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pulse flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in food processor. Add half of cubed cold butter. Pulse to combine. Add remaining butter. Pulse to combine. Add oil. Pulse to combine. Slowly add water to flour mixture until dough forms ball and pulls away from sides. Mine took a little less than ⅔ Cup. Divide dough in three balls.
  • Lay out parchment paper on flat surface. Sprinkle with flour. Roll out ball of dough to less than ¼-inch thick. Transfer flat dough on parchment paper to baking sheet. Cut out desired shapes. Use a fork for holes in dough (helps with even cooking). Roll tines of fork across cracker for easier removal. Pull excess dough away from crackers (see photo).
  • Bake in oven for 11-13 minutes until beginning to brown.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 Tablespoons butter. Combine with ½ teaspoon salt in flat baking dish. Remove crackers from oven. Immediately transfer crackers to buttery pan. Gently stir crackers in salty butter.  Repeat with remaining dough.
  • When crackers have cooled, spoon roughly ½ teaspoon peanut butter on half of the crackers. Top with second cracker.
