We’re crackers about homemade crackers.
They’re so easy to make and so addictive in their deliciousness.
Their distinctive flavors come from the savory bite of quality cheese or a sprinkling of fresh herbs or a simple garnish of tiny seeds.
The handful of ingredients mix together effortlessly, with nothing artificial — just wholesome goodness.
Individuality is a hallmark of these savory nibbles, so don’t worry if they’re a little overbaked, underbaked or not perfectly uniform. Guests will take one bite and be impressed, because few take the time or effort to make crackers from scratch. They’ll be the toast of the party — imperfections and all.
Here are a few things to keep in mind when making these savory snacks:
• If rolling the dough out, roll it as thin as possible and as uniform as possible. The crackers will bake faster and more evenly. Also, if a recipe calls for a leavening agent — baking soda or baking powder — keep in mind that the crackers will rise a little and the finished snack will be just a bit thicker.
• Play around with the flavors, substituting like cheeses or varying the seeds used to garnish them.
