‘There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between the mother and her son’.
This recipe is a valentine gift to my little one. He loves Goldfish, I think it is the crunch, the salt and shape. It is the one thing that he doesn’t tire of. I am lucky that he still likes real fish and so I don’t feel too bad giving in to his passion.
These goldfish are only made of a few ingredients. You can make them GF or not. I made lots of other shapes too, like elephants, hearts, and stars. Whatever I had on hand. You can make them and serve them to your little and to adults with a glass of mummy juice. Either way, make and eat with love.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (8oz) shredded cheddar cheese (orange)
- 1 cup Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour (Bob’s Red Mill)
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, cold
- 1-2 tbsp. ice water, as needed.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350F/180c.
- Add the shredded cheese, flour and butter to a food processor and pulse until it is a grainy texture.
- Add 1-2 tbsp. iced cold water and pulse until it starts to form into a dough.
- Add a tsp. of water at a time if you need to add more to bring it together.
- Place the dough mixture onto a surface and lightly knead it to come together.
- Form a disc and wrap it in plastic. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ¼ inch thick. Cut into goldfish with a stencil ($12 from Amazon) or use a pizza cutter to create square-shaped crackers.
- Bake the crackers for 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown. Pop them back in the oven if they need to cook further, just keeping an eye on them.
- Let cool and store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
