Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond Flour plus more for dusting the rolling surface
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 3.5 grams Squid Ink Powder
- 5 ounces Cheddar Cheese Shredded
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter Melted
- 1 Egg I use jumbo eggs.
Instructions
- Combine all of the dry ingredients–1.5 cups Almond Flour (sifted), ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, and 3.5 grams Squid Ink Powder–in a medium bowl. Thoroughly whisk all the dry ingredients so that the squid ink powder gets evenly distributed throughout the mixture.1.5 cups Almond Flour, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, 3.5 grams Squid Ink Powder
- In a larger microwave safe bowl, melt the 5 ounces Cheddar Cheese (shredded). Start at 30 seconds on high. Stir. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again. Beyond this point, only microwave in 10 second increments as needed until the cheese is melted.5 ounces Cheddar Cheese

- Add the dry ingredients to the melted cheese and stir to combine. Add in 1 Egg and melted butter and keep stirring with a rubber scraper / spatula to start. Then finish mixing the dough with your hands until everything is evenly distributed.1.5 cups Almond Flour, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, 3.5 grams Squid Ink Powder, 5 ounces Cheddar Cheese, 1 Egg, 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Lay out 2 pieces of parchment paper and lightly dust the bottom one with some almond flour. Place the dough on the bottom sheet of parchment paper and flatten it into a disk. Set the 2nd piece of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about ⅛ inch thick.
- Use a bat shaped cookie cutter to cut as many crackers as you can fit. (My cookie cutter is 3.2” wide.) Collect the scraps and re-roll them to cut more. You can do this as many times as needed. (It took me 4 rounds of rolling and cutting.)
- Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with silicone baking mats and if you’re paranoid like I am, line those each with a sheet of parchment paper. Lay out the crackers on the parchment paper so that they are not touching.
- Bake at 300°F for 25 - 30 minutes or just until the edges are beginning to turn crisp. Since these are black and you can’t see when they are starting to turn golden brown at the edges, take them out and touch / test the edges to tell when they are done.
- Then you turn off the oven and let them set inside until they are crisp the whole way through. (I set timers to check these every 10 minutes so that I didn’t forget about them.) In my oven and my house, this took about 30 minutes.
- Serve right away or store in an airtight container.
