However, with that said, my husband wants chili for supper. No problem there except for his beloved crackers. I have never seen a man so 'in love' with crackers and we're out. Hmmm. Should I take part of my budget and purchase crackers that I have no coupon for. No. So, with the wonderful internet at my fingertips I google saltine crackers. Here is the recipe I used:
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Lightly grease two large cookie sheets. Combine the dry ingredients, and then stir in the water, oil and mix until a smooth dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half and flatten each half on a cookie sheet. Use a small rolling pin or even your fingers for a rustic, uneven look. Once the dough is spread thin, use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares. The elasticity in the dough will make the crackers shrink slightly and pull away from each other; this makes them easy to bake without sticking together.
- Brush lightly with an egg wash (one egg white and 2 tablespoons of water) or spray lightly with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with the topping of your choice. Experiment with your favorite flavors, or try one of these variations: Chopped rosemary and sea salt, sesame seeds, poppyseeds and onion salt, Parmesan cheese
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crackers are golden and crispy.
As strange as it seems, little conqests like this excite me immensely! I mean, who thinks of doing these things and then who but me actually follows through! I know, I know there are many of you out there just like me and I am thankful - it makes me feel a little more sane to know you are out there when I am here, surrounded by a world of Marys. Thanks for reading!
