1. A method of cracking a hydrocarbon, comprising:
contacting the hydrocarbon with an aluminosilicate zeolite catalyst to produce a cracking product,
wherein the aluminosilicate zeolite comprises an MCM-22 crystal phase and a weight ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 of 19-28.8:1,
wherein particles of the aluminosilicate zeolite have a flake shape with an average longest dimension of 10-50 nm,
wherein the flakes are stacked on top of one another, and
wherein the aluminosilicate zeolite has an average pore size of 2-5 nm.
