The Yankee and I love to have snacky suppers every so often; just some crackers, some cheese, maybe some salami or dried fruit or nuts. Browsing through How to Cook Everything today I came across a recipe for crackers. Did y’all have any idea how fast it is to make crackers? I certainly did not. I gathered:

Simple crackers

Ingredients

• 1 cup AP flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup whole milk

Instructions

1. Combine the flour and salt, then cut in the butter like you’re making biscuits or pie dough (a few pulses in a food processor will do this nicely; I used a pastry blender this time), then add in milk
2. Either pulse till combined in the food processor or stir in with a fork or dough whisk in a bowl
3. Roll out 1/8 inch thick and cut out into shapes, or just score it with a knife if you want to simply break them apart later
4. Bake at 400F on a lightly floured baking sheet or on a pizza stone for about ten minutes, then cool on a rack. Serve warm or save for later

With limitless shape options, these crackers also make a very fun kid snack.

Have fun!
