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
- 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
- Either pulse till combined in the food processor or stir in with a fork or dough whisk in a bowl
- 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
- 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!
NEVER in my life will I be able to convice Nathan that crackers, cheese, and salami are dinner. You lucky gal. PS. I’m impressed, those crackers look divine!
I love having something like crackers ‘n cheeses for dinner sometimes too. Your right.., making crackers are a snap. Cool shapes you’ve made 🙂
