HOMEMADE GOURMET CRACKERS
These are a copycat of Gourmet Crackers sold at my local shops which are so expensive to buy! For 1/5th of the price to buy, these are simple to make and they taste much better (having done side by side taste testing!). They last for at least a month in an airtight container, or you can keep the loaf in the freezer then slice and bake when desired. They taste sweet / savoury and are perfect with cheese. Customisable! Recipe VIDEO below.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F (all oven types). Grease and line a small loaf tin with baking paper (mine is 21 x 11 x 7 cm / 8.5 x 4.5 x 3") (Note 1).
- Whisk the milk, sugar and yoghurt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, add plain flour, wholemeal flour and cranberries. Stir - use fingers to break up cranberries if required.
- Add remaining ingredients, including Spices, plus the milk mixture. It should be a thick batter, like muffin batter (note: batter in video looks slightly thicker because it was standing for a couple of minutes, doesn't affect outcome).
- Scrape/pour into tin. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cool on rack, then wrap in cling wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours, up to 3 months. (Note 2)
- Unwrap loaf and allow to thaw partially so the outside is not rock hard frozen (around 20 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 120C/250F (all oven types). Place one shelf in the middle, and another shelf beneath it.
- Use a serrated bread knife to slice thinly - around 2 mm / 1/12" thick (see video). Place biscuits on 2 large baking trays, you can squeeze them in as they won't expand or stick.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until they are a light brown, swapping trays halfway.
- Leave biscuits on tray to cool - they will harden so they snap when you break them. (Note 3)
- Store in an airtight container for 4 weeks (probably ok for longer, I've only done 4 weeks). Brilliant served with creamy cheeses like brie, camembert, but soft, creamy blue cheeses is the ultimate pairing!

TRUFFLE-PARMESAN PHYLLO CRACKERS
These buttery and flaky crackers have a delicate texture and are lightly flavored with truffle and Parmesan. They can be a little finicky to make at first, but once you get the hang of it, you will be hooked!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut 2 sheets of parchment paper to fit on a baking sheet. Combine melted butter and truffle oil in a small bowl.
- Place 1 sheet of parchment on a flat work surface. Gently place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on top. Brush lightly with the butter mixture right up to the edges, being careful not to tear the sheet. Place another sheet of phyllo on top. Press down to remove any air pockets, and brush with butter. Repeat 3 more times. Brush the 5th and last sheet with egg white instead of butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese, truffle salt, and pepper.
- Cut the phyllo into 40 squares, or into the shape of your choice, using a pizza cutter. Slide the whole parchment sheet onto the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as they tend to brown quickly. Remove parchment sheet from baking sheet and let cool.
- Repeat process with remaining ingredients. Let crackers cool and serve immediately, or store at room temperature in a sealed container.
