Homemade Goldfish Crackers

Cultural Context

Homemade Goldfish Crackers are a nostalgic American snack that captures childhood memories of lunchboxes and after-school treats. These fish-shaped crackers are celebrated for their cheesy flavor and crunchy texture, making them a favorite among kids and adults alike. While the original Goldfish Crackers are mass-produced, making them at home allows for customization in flavors and ingredients, appealing to those seeking healthier or allergen-free options.

1

Add 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, and 2 tbsp of cold butter into a food processor.

2

Process until you achieve a grainy texture, about 1 minute.

3

Gradually add 2 tbsp of water bit by bit until the dough comes together, processing for 10 to 20 seconds.

4

Once the dough sticks together, move it out of the processor and onto a floured surface.

5

Knead the dough briefly to bring everything together, then roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.

6

Use a fish-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes, or cut into cubes if you don't have a cutter.

7

Transfer the cutouts to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

8

Bake in the oven at 375°F for 10 to 15 minutes until golden and crunchy.
