Cooking With Kids Thursday: Homemade Goldfish

July 26, 2012 by melinda-ann Leave a Comment

I am still in a bit of shock over this recipe. My kids love eating Goldfish but they can get kind of pricey if you have to buy them often enough. I find that a lot of “homemade” recipes for things online end up costing at ton to make once you buy all the ingrdients and are time intensive. This is not one of those recipes. These homemade goldfish only require 5 ingredients and I can guarantee you have them in your home. This tutorial also includes how to make the fish shaped cookie cutters. Thanks Tasty Kitchen!

Here’s what you need to make these:

8 ounces, weight Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
4 Tablespoons Butter, Cut Into Cubes
1 cup Flour
¾ teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Cold Water

Here’s how to make them -> Homemade Goldfish Tutorial
