Homade Crackers

Here is a homemade cracker recipe that is easy and cheap. I do not by any more from the store after making these.






1 cup all purpose flour
1 to 2 tablespoons melted butter
4 to 8 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Put your flour into your food processor. Add your salt and melted butter (1 tbs for really crispy crackers or 2 for the crackers like are in the box). Mix together until blended. Add the water a tablespoon at a time while the machine is on. When the flour comes together to form a ball you have enough water. Put dough on a lightly floured board and roll out until 1/8 inch thick. Cut into shapes. This is when I dusted mine with more salt and seasonings. Bake them at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minuets. Watch after 10 minuets and when they get light brown on the edges they are done. Let them cool completely and they will get more crispy.

If you add the one tablespoon of butter they are so crispy they flake off a little bit when you snap them. You can add flavorings to your dough but make sure they do not contain to much mositure. Spices, herbs and dry cheese are great add ins. They take no time to make and are addictive. I also docked the dough so there are not to many big bubbles.

Sounds wonderful. How hard are they to make without a food processor? My hands are my food processor. LOL

not hard at all. I would use a hand mixer. My mom bought me the food processor last christmas or I would not have one.
