YIELD :2 bowls

Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese - 1 cup
Unsalted Butter - 2 tbsp (room temperature)
Salt - 1/2 tsp
A pinch of baking soda
Milk - 3-4 tbsp (as needed)

Method:

In a food processor, combine all purpose flour with cheddar cheese, butter, salt and soda.
Pulse it until it gets mixed well. around 5-7 minutes.
Add milk slowly 1 spoon at a time to form a smooth dough ball.
Transfer dough in bowl. cover it with foil or plastic wrap and keep in refriegerator for 10-15 minutes.
Preheat oven at 180 degree C and line baking tray with parchment paper.
Roll out dough on baking paper into a thin layer (dime of 10 cent thickness). Careful while rolling, If it is very thick it wont cook properly from inside and wont be crunchy.
Brush the dough with milk and cut it into diamond shape using pizza cutter or use your desired shape of cookie cutter. ( I used star shape for 1st batch. and from cutout of star shape I rolled it again and made diamonds for 2nd batch.).
Place crackers into baking tray.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until it starts turning into golden on edges. They will be crispy as they cool down so be careful not to over bake them.
Cool them on wire rack completely. Store in air tight jar..
Enjoy and Cheese-It, Munch-It, Crunch-It....

Note:

Use only Sharp or extra sharp Cheddar cheese excellent flavor. Mild cheese doesn't give the special flavor.
For healthy version replace all purpose flour with wheat flour or spelt flour.
Keep checking crackers after 5minutes when in oven as it will be done fast. Mine was done in 7 minutes and i turned them to other side and baked them for another 2-3 minutes.
