HOMEMADE SALTINE CRACKERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the melted butter and water to the flour mixture. You may have to use your hands. Mix well.
• Turn the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin as thin as possible, approximately ⅛-inch or thinner. Cut into cracker shapes and place the dough pieces in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
• Bake on the center rack in the oven for 15 minutes or until crispy.
• Allow the crackers to cool. Serve at room temperature.

CRACKER CANDY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line a half sheet baking sheet (18" x 13") with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Line baking sheet with soda crackers, salt side up with edges touching. Set aside.
• Over medium heat, while constantly stirring, bring butter and sugar to a gentle, yet constant, boil. Don't turn the heat too high or the mixture might separate. I like to use a whisk for stirring.
• Once the caramel mixture comes to a gentle, yet boil that doesn't stop when stirred, remove the whisk or spoon. Boil for exactly 3 minutes without stirring. The heat needs to as low as possible and still hot enough for the caramel mixture to boil. If you turn the heat too high it might burn.
• Remove caramel from heat and drizzle over crackers in prepared pan. Spread with the back of the spoon to cover crackers as much as possible. Don't worry if there are spots without any caramel covering them. It will work itself out in the oven.
• Bake for 5 minutes.
• After removing from the oven, sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let them sit for about 5 minutes. The heat from the candy will melt the chocolate chips as they sit.
• Spread chocolate chips with the back of a spoon. If desired sprinkle with chopped nuts.
• Cool completely. Break or cut into pieces.

HOMEMADE SODA CRACKERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; stir to dissolve and let stand for 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the yeast mixture and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to blend. If the dough is sticky, add sprinkles of flour until a soft dough forms.
• Knead the dough until it is soft and has an elastic consistency, about 5 minutes. Add sprinkles of flour to control the stickiness. If using a mixer or a food processor, the dough will form a soft ball around the revolving dough hook and clean the sides of the bowl. Add flour, if necessary, to firm up the dough.
• Drop the dough into a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour and up to 18 hours (the longer the better.).
• Arrange the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• With a heavy rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 18 by 6 inches and no thicker than 1/8-inch. Fold the dough from the short ends, brushing off the excess flour, to make 3 layers for extra flaky crackers. Roll again using the rolling pin.
• Prick the dough with the tines of a fork to help cook evenly. Evenly cut the dough along the edge of a ruler or yardstick with a pizza or cookie cutter into desired shapes.
• Place the crackers close together on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt from 12-inches above the crackers to distribute evenly.
• Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crackers. Check the crackers several times during the baking period to make certain those on the outer edge of the baking sheet are not getting too brown. If so, switch the ones on the outside with the ones in the middle.
• Remove from the oven and brush the crackers with melted butter. Let cool on a metal rack.
• Variations:.
• Sesame-Onion Crackers:.
• Add to the dough, with the dry ingredients, 4 teaspoons each sesame seeds and grated onion.
• Herb Crackers:.
• Add to the dough, with the dry ingredients, 4 teaspoons each chopped fresh parsley and chives and 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed.
• Poppy Seed Crackers:.
• Add to the dough, with the dry ingredients, 2 teaspoons poppy seeds.
