We made crackers!

Making food from scratch has made me crave food from scratch. Ahh, did I tell you about the texture of the cake batter from scratch? I don't know how it tasted but I can tell you the consistency was to die for.

This time... crackers. Inspired by Coming Up for Air
Homemade Saltine Crackers recipe from Kitchen Crafts and More.

Homemade Saltine Crackers
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2/3 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Combine the dry ingredients, cut in the butter,
then stir in the milk. Round into a ball and knead for few strokes. Divide dough
into several pieces and roll out very thin on a floured board. Lay sheets on
ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and prick with a fork. Cut into 1 1/2
inch squares with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to
12 minutes or until lightly browned.


It really was *that* easy. Jules and I made them and we all enjoyed snacking on them. Note: wait until they are lightly browned. I did the first round by the sniff test and they came out just a smidge too early.
