Preheat the oven to 180°C fan or 200°C normal.

In a bowl, combine 300 g of whole meal flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of mixed herbs.

Rub 75 g of butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand or breadcrumbs.

Make a well in the center and add 160 g of water and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil.

Mix to form a dough and knead for a couple of minutes.

Roll out about a third of the dough on a sheet of baking paper to about 1 mm thick.

Cut out shapes using a 2.5-inch cookie cutter and prick them with a fork.

Transfer the crackers onto a baking tray and bake for about 10 minutes or until they start to brown.

Roll out the remaining dough, cut into squares, prick with a fork, and bake for another 10 minutes.

Let the crackers cool for 5 minutes before testing for crispness.

If any crackers are slightly soft, place them on a baking tray and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
