# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a food processor, combine grated cheddar and cold butter. Pulse until mixture reaches crumbly consistency.
03 - Add sourdough starter to the food processor and pulse until mostly incorporated.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, chives, black pepper, and buttermilk powder if using.
05 - Add dry mixture to the food processor and pulse until dough forms. If too dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons cold water.
06 - Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and roll out to 1/8 inch thickness.
07 - Using a fluted pastry wheel or sharp knife, cut dough into 1 inch squares. Use a skewer to poke a small hole in the center of each cracker.
08 - Transfer squares to prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
09 - Sprinkle tops lightly with flaky sea salt.
10 - Bake 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden and crisp.
11 - Cool completely on rack before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
