Homemade Goldfish


I just made goldfish crackers. Tiny, adorable, cheesy, delicious, homemade goldfish crackers. Click HERE for the recipe. I used all-purpose flour and went with the higher salt content because that is who I am. I spent $12.95 (with shipping) on this tiny fish cutter because that is also who I am. Hey, beats buying expensive clothes. I think. (People who have to see me in the same t-shirt and jeans everyday might disagree).

These blow the real Goldfish out of the water - do you understand that I cannot stop thinking up puns?? But seriously. A bit puffier than the real deal, and not AS crunchy, which I actually enjoy. And they taste like FRESHLY GRATED CHEEEEEEESE! My head is going to explode.

dough, at first (I used a mixer instead of a food processor)...


dough once I got my hands on it (I also chose to chill it for 30 minutes)...
