Homemade Ritz Crackers

Today I wanted a peanut butter Ritz cracker.
Not a Ritz cracker found to be in the house.
So I came up with this recipe to make my own.
It's close to the boxed crackers but better.

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut up
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup cold water

Topping:
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Put uin a food processor the flour, baking powder,
sugar, and 1/2 tsp of salt and pulse to combine.
Add cold butter, pulse to combine.
Add vegetable oil. Pulse to combine.
Add water a bit at a time. Pulse,
until the dough begins to form a ball.
Roll dough out as thin as you can.
The thinner they are the more crisp
and cracker like they are.
Use cookie cutters to cut the dough out.
Bake until brown aqnd crispy about 12 minutes.
Season and drizzle butter and salt to taste.
