The best Pimento Cheese Crackers recipe is easy to make with only 4 simple ingredients. These homemade crackers are perfect to serve as an appetizer or enjoy as a savory snack.
TIPS FOR MAKING PIMENTO CHEESE CRAKERS
The key to these cracker's great flavor is starting with the traditional Master's Pimento Cheese Recipe. Whip up a double batch, one for the spread on your sandwiches, and one for your crackers.
TIPS FOR MIX-INS
If you like your pimento cheese spicy then it's easy to kick up the heat. When adding the flour and salt to the pimento cheese mixture add a tablespoon of finely Cowboy Candy which is chopped pickled jalapenos and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
HOW LONG DO PIMENTO CHEESE CRACKERS LAST?
Once baked if there are any left I suggest placing the homemade crackers in an airtight container. Keep in a cool dry cabinet for up to one week.
CAN YOU FREEZE HOMEMADE CRACKERS?
I suggest you make the cracker dough, roll it into a 1 1/2 inch diameter log. Then wrap the dough log with parchment paper tightly. Place in a gallon freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you want to bake them allow the dough to thaw in the refrigerator before baking.
WHAT TYPE OF CHEESE DO YOU USE TO MAKE PIMENTO CHEESE CRACKERS?
I suggest choosing a good quality, very cheesy pimento cheese spread. For my recipe, I use my Master's Pimento Cheese Recipe. It has a combination of sharp cheddar and Monterey jack cheese.
QUESTIONS ABOUT PIMENTO CHEESE CRACKERS
ARE PIMENTO CHEESE CRACKERS KETO?
This recipe has all-purpose wheat flour so they are not keto. However, you can easily substitute the wheat flour for almond flour. Just add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder with it.

Steps 6, 7 and 8 do not seem to make any sense.

Russell, You are totally right!! I had added extra steps that were not necessary. At first, I tried chilling the dough before rolling it out. After a second run of the recipe, I decided it was easier to work with the dough unchilled but forgot to remove that part of those steps. I have corrected it on my recipe card now. Thanks so much for pointing it out. I am going to email you a copy of my Augusta Famous Recipes ebook this afternoon for helping me correct this. Again, thank you.
