Nom Nom Goldfish Crackers!

Gluten Free “Goldfish” Crackers

4 oz. Cheddar Cheese, shredded OR you can use goat milk cheddar – it’s out of this world
4 Tbs. Butter or you can use goat milk butter
3/4 c. Potato Starch
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Xanthan Gum
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder (if you need corn-free, you can get it at a natural foods store or you can make it with potato starch and baking soda)
2 Tbs. Milk – can use goat milk here too

Topping: salt, dried herbs or spices if desired
Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Combine all the ingredients, except the milk, in a medium size-bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles a fine crumb. Add the milk and beat well.
On a lightly greased surface OR sprinkle the surface with potato starch instead), pat or roll the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3/4 inch squares or another small shape that you like. You can also cut the dough into larger round or square shapes, just extend the cooking time.
Prick the tops of the crackers with a fork and sprinkle lightly with your desired topping, like salt or parmesan cheese or both! Bake on the prepared baking sheet until golden brown and crisp, approximately 10 minutes but check at about 8 minutes. The crackers will be light and crispy, although barely browning at the edges. The bottom of the crackers will have a bit more color.

For added fun you can get a little "goldfish" cookie cutter
