Gluten Free Ritz Crackers Recipe
These gluten free crackers and crunchy, buttery and salty - my perfect gluten free dupe of the popular Ritz Crackers!
Servings: 30 crackers
Ingredients
- 200 g plain gluten free flour (I use FREEE by Doves Farm)
- 0.25 tsp xanthan gum
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 80 g unsalted butter (COLD)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp caster sugar
- 4 tbsp cold water
- 4 tsp vegetable oil
- 15 g melted butter
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Add the gluten free flour, baking powder, xanthan gum salt and sugar to a large mixing bowl and stir to mix.
- Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mix. Using your fingertips, rub the flour mix into the butter until it forms a breadcrumb-like consistency. The colder the butter and your hands while doing this, the better!
- Pour in the oil and water and use a fork to start to mix the dough together. Once it thickens into a dough, use your hands to bring it together into a ball and knead a couple of times.
- Shape the dough into a disc and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Once the dough is ready, preheat the oven to 220C / 200C Fan / Gas Mark 6.
- Roll the dough out to around 4mm thick. Using a 2.5-inch round fluted cutter, cut out the crackers and place on a lined baking tin around 1 inch apart from each other. Use a skewer or fork to prick holes in each cracker and then bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on top.
- Straight after removing from the oven, brush the crackers with melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Leave to cool on the trays for 10-15 minutes before removing and eating.
Notes
- Storing: These gluten free Ritz Crackers will keep in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also freeze the dough ahead of time.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these as a lunchbox snack, on a cheeseboard with my pear chutney, or as part of a 'crisps and dips' nibbles buffet.
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
