Sometimes there's nothing better to warm you--body and soul--than a nice, hot bowl of homemade soup with crackers crumbled over the top. Yum, right? It doesn't get any better, does it? It could. Take it one step further and complement your homemade soup with fresh, crispy homemade soup crackers. This recipe is easy and so basic that you can punch it up with your own favorite herbs and spices.
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter two cookie sheets and set aside.
2. Sift 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp. sugar, 1 tsp. ranch seasoning, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
3. Add 1/4 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup whole milk (set 1/4 cup aside). Stir well.
4. Mix the dough with your hands until it is moist and stiff. If the dough is too dry, add the remaining 1/4 cup of whole milk, a little at a time, until the dough reaches a moist, stiff consistency.
5. Dust your work surface with flour. Place the cracker dough on your work surface and knead for approximately five minutes.
6. Roll out the dough to approximately 1/8-inch thick with a rolling pin.
7. Cut the rolled cracker dough into 1-inch squares. Place the squares, evenly spaced, on your buttered cookie sheets.
8. Place the crackers in your preheated oven. Bake for eight to 10 minutes or until crackers are golden brown.
9. Cool completely and store in an airtight container.
