In a bowl, combine 1 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 4 tablespoons of cubed butter to the flour and cut it in using a pastry cutter until you have pea-sized clumps.

Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the flour and butter mixture and mix well.

Gradually add water, starting with 1/4 cup, mixing until the dough holds together.

If the dough is too dry, add an additional 2 tablespoons of water and mix again.

Once the dough holds together, work it with your hands to form a ball, incorporating any dry parts.

Place the dough directly onto a baking sheet and roll it out as thin as possible, aiming for about 1/16 inch thick.

Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into approximately 1-inch strips.

Poke four holes in the center of each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Bake the crackers for 10 minutes, then check for browning.

Remove the thin crackers from the edges to prevent burning and return the rest to the oven for an additional 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown.

Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container.
