  • “Very crispy and tasty. I mixed some sesame seeds into dough and sprinkled some more on the top, before baking along with grated parmesan. Only thing was that I needed to put them in the oven for a little longer than specified time (about 15 – 17 mins) for them to bake completely and go lovely and golden. Otherwise, great recipe. Thank you. “

  • “This is a fantastic basic cracker recipe! I can add so much to this and create so many different variety of crackers. I rolled them out super thin and baked them the full 14 minutes. I think this is what made then have that crunch that so many homemade crackers are missing. Thank you sharing this with us!”

  • “Excellent crackers!I added some Italian seasoning just to give it some flavor.I plan to use Tony’s (cajun seasoning) next time for some kick!”

  • “Yummy! I liked these and so did my DS (18 mos.). It is a bit tricky for a novice cook like myself. If you roll them too thick they still taste doughy and aren’t crispy. So, since I’m a lazy roller, I just adjusted the cook time. Easy peasy! I also do not own a food processor. So, I tried it in the blender (cringe). The dough came out a completely different texture than described. But, still made pretty tastey, crispy things! Thank you ‘The Scone”!”

  • “I can’t stop eating them.I added some sesame, poppy and flax seeds and some millet.I followed the directions with the water, but left them in the oven for 17 minutes.They need a little flavor- maybe some herbs or garlic or onion powder – I’ll try that next time.Very crispy and super easy to make.Thanks for a great versatile cracker recipe.I’ve been looking for one for a while.”

  • “Nice crackers! I made them as posted and they were great. I rolled them very thin and they baked up in 10 mins. I made half plain and half the sesame seed option. The seeded ones were fantastic. Easy to make since it’s done in a food processor. Thanks for posting.”

  • “Yuck! No flavour and didn’t come out crispy like a cracker.”

  • “This recipe is easy and tasty. A great alternative to store-bought crackers. I used 1 c. whole wheat flour and 1 c. all purpose flour, which produced nice results. Definitely roll out the dough as thin as possible. Mine turned out a bit too thick. “
