Delicious served with soup or salad, these unusual sauerkraut crackers are easy to make and surprisingly tasty. During the Czech Days Festival in Tabor, South Dakota, zelniky are consumed in prodigious quantities. Serve these as cocktail nibbles or to accompany a good microbrewed beer, spread with hearty mustard and topped with slices of cooked Polish or kielbasa sausage. These keep well.
