Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the crackers will taste.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the crackers from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the crackers. This will help to create clean, even edges.
  • Bake the crackers in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Let the crackers cool completely before serving. This will help them to crisp up.
