Following is a delicious Homemade Ritz Crackers Recipe and guest post
by Veronica at CookingMorningNooNight… enjoy!!
I had full intentions of JUST calling these Ritz crackers until someone managed to run off with my wavy cookie cutter… I am fairly sure it was the kitchen gnomes.
Anyways… I am a cracker fiend! My family being from Wisconsin often meant my meal of choice was Kaukana spreadable cheese, summer sausage and of course… Ritz crackers. It’s a mystery that I haven’t died from a heart attack yet,
I’m just saying… I wish I could take 100% credit for this creativity but alas.. I found it on Pinterest and it’s from cupcakeproject.com. Check out her site, it’s awesome. She devoted quite some time to perfecting these beauts… Ritz Crackers!

Homemade Ritz Crackers Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tbsp cold butter + 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2/3 cup cold water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into your food processor and pulse to combine.
- Add the cold butter, cut into pats and pulse until crumbly.
- Add the vegetable oil, all at once and pulls until dough starts to become sticky.
- With the processor on, slowly pour in the water. The dough should form a ball once finished.
- Roll out the dough as thin as you can get it, it’s OK if they are different sizes they are homemade after all.
- Use your ruffly cookie cutter (classic Ritz shape) or really any shape you like will do.
- Poke holes in the top of the Ritz to allow for even baking.
- Brush a light coat of butter onto the crackers and sprinkle lightly with salt before baking.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until your desired brownness is achieved.
- Brush with more melted butter (and a sprinkle of salt if you like) immediately out of oven.
- Cool and enjoy!
These aren’t as crisp as typical Ritz but definitely flaky. They are easy to whip up and are best with a topping like I don’t know…. Cheese and Summer sausage? 😉 Enjoy your week everyone!!

Do you think I would be able to roll this dough into a log and just slice it that way instead of rolling it out? I have been making a lot of crackers lately and am just tired of rolling and cutting 😉
