Notes

Tips & Tricks

  • Spread very thin – The thinner the batter, the crispier the crackers
  • Use an offset spatula – Makes spreading much easier
  • Rotate the pan halfway through baking – Helps even crisping
  • Watch edges carefully – Thin edges can brown quickly
  • Cool completely before storing – Prevents trapped moisture and sogginess
  • Customize flavors – Add ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, or cheddar powder
