Steps:

• Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne into the bowl of a food processor and pulse two to three times.

• Heat your oven to 400 degrees F with a rack in the middle. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper (You can also re-use a lined baking sheet for the third batch as long at it has cooled).
• Roll out the dough, in batches, between two sheets of wax paper and cut the dough into rounds or squares and place them on the baking sheets about 1/2 inch apart.
• Whisk together the egg yolk, paprika, and water, and brush the tops of the cut dough with the mixture.
• Bake the crackers, one sheet at a time, for about 14 to 16 minutes. The center should be fully cooked.
• Let the crackers cool on the pan for about two minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
