Does anyone have a sturdy homemade cracker recipe to share? I have this idea of making appetizer spoons from homemade crackers. I have some metal Asian soup spoons to use as a form, but I need a recipe that will hold up to transferring to the form after rolling out, plus holding up on the appetizer platter. I am not sure what I will put on the spoons yet, but it won't be too heavy or too wet, just in case.

Thanks,

--Lisa

Lisa,
That's actually a very clever idea. Are you looking to market this or just make some for fun? You could expand on this and use Grated Parm and make cheese spoons. I don't have a cracker recipe for you.

Sounds industrious! Could you make them out of puff pastry? I've made cheese straws out of puff pastry and they are yummy. It's a CI recipe.

Baking With Julia has a recipe for oat crackers that might fit the bill.

Just for fun. I've seen them on various sites but they are made out of smashed white bread slices, and I think I can do better than that. ;) I thought about puff pastry but would it be sturdy enough to pick something up with it?

I'll check for the Julia recipe. I have several of her cookbooks but not that one. Maybe it is in one of the others. Thanks!

Now, the big question is what to put on the spoons?!

Lisa,

The recipe is titled "Swedish Oatmeal Hardtack".

I have a magazine at home that has one you roll out with a pasta machine. It's from Canadian living but I didn't see it online - will look at home and pm you.

For yucks, I searched the eResources under culinary online via my local library for "homemade crackers" and this popped up. Amazon would have worked too I guess. Can't get the screenshot to post so here's the amazon link. Sorry, haven't tried anything from this book.
Crackers & Dips

none of them appear to be online - can you pm me your email and I'll send you the scanned pages? I found several in different Christmas issues from Canadian Living - one of my trusted resources. If anyone else wants them just pm me your email.
cheers
