Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, cayenne, and butter until a crumbly dough forms. Add cheese, bacon and milk. Pulse just until dough forms.
Using a small cookie scoop (1 Tbsp), scoop dough onto parchment lined baking sheets. Flatten in a criss-cross pattern with a floured fork.
Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Notes:
I made the cracker dough in my food processor. The dough came together in a minute.
If you don't have a food processor, you can mix the dough by hand or use a stand mixer.
The crackers have a little bit of cayenne pepper for a kick. I didn't think they were spicy at all. Feel free to reduce the cayenne or omit it if you are worried about the heat.
One cup of chopped cooked bacon is approximately one pound of fresh bacon.
The crackers will keep about a week in an air-tight container.
