Make a splash with these homemade crackers that are packed with even more cheddar flavor than the store-bought variety. These homemade cheddar fish crackers have even better cheddar flavor than the store-bought version, plus they’re supersimple to make! Making the dough in the food processor is quick and easy, and kids will have a blast rolling and cutting out the little fish. Using yellow cheddar cheese gives these crackers their classic orange color (yes, yellow cheddar is actually orange!). If you happen to have any white cheddar on hand, have kids do a blind taste test of white and yellow cheddar while their crackers bake. Have them put on a blindfold and give them a piece of each type of cheese to taste. Which do they think is the white cheddar? The yellow cheddar? Yellow cheddar gets its (orange) color from annatto seeds, a natural and tasteless dye. The flavor difference between the two is usually pretty subtle, and could be due to what the cows ate whose milk became each cheese, or one variety might have more fat or salt than the other. New research also suggests that annatto might also have a subtle effect on the cheese’s flavor, too. Now that’s some cheesy science!
