2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp + another 1/2 tsp salt for topping
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter + 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2/3 cup water

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in the food processor, and pulse to combine.
Add cold butter a few small pats at a time, and pulse to combine.
Add vegetable oil. Pulse to combine.
Add water a little bit at a time. Pulse to combine after each addition. The dough should start to form a ball.
Roll dough out as thin as you can. If it ends up somewhat uneven, don't worry about it. They are homemade crackers for goodness sake! You could run these through a pasta roller if you are concerned about the dough being even.
Use cookie cutters to cut the dough out. You can make them shaped like an actual Ritz, or use any shape that you like.

Poke holes in the dough in the Ritz pattern or any pattern you like. Keep in mind that the holes are not just decorative; they help the crackers to bake correctly - so be sure to poke some.
Bake the crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet until the crackers just begin to brown, approximately 10 minutes or more.
While the crackers are baking, melt the remaining butter and mix in the remaining salt. Use more or less salt to your taste. As soon as you remove the crackers from the oven, brush them with the salty butter.
