hey everyone it's James from fun foods and
today i will show you how to make this
giant goldfish cracker this is a lot of
fun to make I love goldfish and I figure
why not let's make a giant goldfish so
keep watching and I'll show you
step-by-step how to make this to make
this I'm gonna have to make two
different badges because my food
processor isn't big enough to make one
big batch so I'm going to do two
different ones and then combine them
together at the end so what you need for
each batch you're going to need eight
ounces of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
you're going to need one cup of flour
you're also going to need four
tablespoons of butter that isn't soft
but it isn't hard either and you're
going to need some salt about half a
teaspoon of salt and you're also going
to need about two tablespoons of cold
water and a first we want to do is start
off by putting our ingredients in here
now i'm going to use half of this
because this is the amount of cheese i
need for the entire two batches and i'm
only going to use half you can measure
it out if you want but i'm going to
eyeball it because it is a lot of cheese
of course because of what we're making
and the flour i am going to measure out
and it's going to be one cup this is a
half a cup that i just put in and I'm
put in the other then we're going to use
half of a teaspoon of salt I have a
whole teaspoon here so I'm just going to
eyeball it and for the butter this is
eight tablespoons here but again we're
only going to use for for the first
batch just cut them up into cubes
now what you want to do is pulse this
before we put the water in there so
pulse it and you'll see it's a nice fine
crumb so we wanted to be all mixed
together and have this nice fine crumb
like this before we start adding the
water this is just cold water I'm gonna
do 1 tablespoon at a time as I Pulse it
and you'll notice it makes a really nice
dough and like I said if you have a
bigger food processor we can fit all of
the ingredients in it use that but for
right now I'm going to turn this out
into a big dish and do my other half of
this batch and now that I've done both
batches I'm just going to put it all in
one big bowl I'm just going to use my
hands and just mix it all together so we
have one batch now it should be this
play-doh like consistency here it's just
a real firm dough and when you have it
like this we're going to wrap it up in
plastic wrap and then just lay out some
plastic wrap here and kind of flatten it
down a little bit if you'd like and then
we're going to wrap it up real good now
we just want to take this put this in a
refrigerator for about 20 to 25 minutes
so it will firm up so here's my dough I
pulled it out of the refrigerator has
been in about 25 minutes i'm just going
to unwrap it from this plastic
I'm just kneading it for a minute and
then we can just roll it out with a
roller
now I want my shape to be long ways
more than width so I'm just going to take
a knife and cut this
now i'm using this pan so my goldfish
can't be bigger than the pan obviously
or else it won't work so i got to make
sure that I don't make it too big so
first thing I'm going to do is just cut
straight down this excess same with this
side and I didn't say so but when you
rolled this out you want it to be about
a half inch in thickness you don't want
too much more than that this should be
good just the way it is right here now
we want to get that gold fish shape of
course I have a little goldfish here and
this is what i'm going to use as my
guide now i'm going to flip it over and
gonna make this side my tail and I'm
just free handing this moving the knife
in a jagged fashion
now we can just pull apart all this
excess don't throw it out we can use
these to make little mini goldfish so
I'm just fixing up the edges where I cut
it and making sure it's all kind of
smooth and pushed in because it will
puff up in the oven now I don't know if
you can see on camera or not but these
little goldfish have these little
indention it's like a little smiley face
and it also has a little eyeball now how
we're going to make that is I'm using a
wooden skewer so here's my wooden skewer
what I'm going to do is kind of make I'm
going to bend it a little bit as I push
it down we're going to say about here
and we're just going to make a little
indent to don't go all the way down and
go about halfway down and it kind of
makes it a little smiley thing and for
the eyeball i'm going to say right about
here i'm going to indent that as well
i'm going to push it down this one
almost all the way through and then that
is going to be the aisle so that's going
to be my giant goldfish now i got to put
it on my baking sheet and put it in the
oven make sure you preheat the oven to
350 degrees and this will probably take
anywhere between 15 to 20 minutes ok so
this took about 25 minutes in the oven
at 350 degrees as soon as it comes out
of the oven you want to sprinkle some
salt on it if you want salt well now its
taste test time I'm going to give this a
shot I'm just broke off a little piece
here and try it out
hmm it's not like very crackery like
very hard I could have left it in the oven
a little bit longer and maybe that
would have dried it out a little bit
more but it's really good anyway I love
cheese and I love the taste of this so
very good well thanks everyone for
