Grana Padano crackers

These 6-ingredient cheesy crackers make a low-effort snack when hosting. The Grana Padano flavour makes them moreish. Top with cold meats or serve on a cheeseboard for guests to serve themselves. Grana Padano cheese has a protected designation of origin awarded status and an unmistakable taste that is the result of a minimum maturation of nine months. Its consistently excellent quality is due to each wheel being examined at nine months by an impartial technician from the official Consortium of Grana Padano. Only after all this does a wheel of Grana Padano receive its iconic rebrand – your guarantee of authenticity and exceptional flavour.

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Place flour, salt, black pepper, Grana Padano cheese, milk and butter into a food processor and process until the dough comes together.

2. Empty from the food processor and roll into flattened ball. Wrap in clingwrap to chill for 1 hour.

3. Unwrap and roll the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface.
