Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter (plus 1/8 teaspoon, softened)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

Sift flour and measure. Add salt and sift again. Cut in butter until very fine. Mix the oil and water together and add to mixture. Stir until it forms a ball and comes away from the side of the bowl. Knead lightly on a floured board for 1 minute. A smooth ball should form. Lightly flour the board again. Pinch off ¼ of the dough and flatten. Roll as thin as you want, or until it just holds together without breaking. Cut the dough in pieces and place on cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes in a preheated 350º oven until lightly browned.

Notes

Variation – For buttery taste, add 2 more tablespoons of butter. You can also add 1 cup of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese before you add the water and oil. (Not for Passover service use)
