Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 ounces all-purpose flour -- (1C)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter -- cut into 1/4" cubes
1/3 cup cold water -- plus additional as needed
Note: Rather than coat the surface of the crackers with an envelope
of salad dressing mix, this is an excellent opportunity to make your
own signature flavor with seasonings such as dried herbs or black
pepper mixed right into the dough.
The recipe can be easily doubled. Spread pieces across two baking
sheets. Add 5 to 10 minutes to total baking time, rotating sheets
half way through.
ACTIVE: 20 minutes
TOTAL: 80 minutes
YIELD: 2 cups
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375F. Measure
flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder into a medium bowl and whisk to
combine. Add butter and using a pastry cutter or fingertips, work
into flour until it resembles coarse meal. Add water and lightly
knead dough until it comes together into a ball.
Set dough on a lightly floured surface and cover with an overturned
mixing bowl. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
Roll dough out on a well floured surface to a thickness of 1/8th
inch. Cut dough into 1/2" squares, rectangles, or diamonds. Transfer
to a parchment-lined baking sheet and space the shapes out as much as possible.
Bake until crackers are showing color around the bottom edges, about
15 minutes. Turn oven off and crack the door open about eight inches.
Leave crackers inside to cool and continue to crisp, about 30
minutes. Remove from oven, season with salt, and allow to cool
completely. Crackers can be stored in a sealed container for up to a week
Review: This recipe is easy to make and it makes me happy that I can
now make these at home since I've never seen oyster crackers for sale
in Canada. I only had time to let them sit for about 20 minutes with
the oven cracked open but that was fine. They held up really well in
my clam chowder (didn't dissolve like saltines do) and I found that
they were salty enough on their own and didn't need any extra
seasoning. The recipe yielded tons of little squares (could only fit
about half on my large baking sheet) so I froze the rest of the
uncooked dough - hoping it will still be good the next time I want to
bake these.
