Cracker Shortage? Soda Crackers In 30 Minutes -- HOMEMADE SALTINES

[@KikiContrerasNyu]

In case this helps, my mom qas a chef and she used to make crackers all the time! - she often used lard instead of butter - use cold water instead of milk; in breadbaking (and crackers are technically a type of bread) milk contains too many solids and tends to make crusts softer, like in sandwich bread. Water allows full evaporation without residue, so, crackly, flaky results :) - same with topping: just a little spray of water, using some very coarse salt and pressing it firmly on the cracker is enough to make it stick. Egg white reduces crispyness - use a pasta roller to roll the dough evenly and thinly - when poking the holes before baking, make sure they go all the way though (touch the cooking pan with the fork when stabbing the cracker) - the air frier is your friend here! Try to air fry a batch on 5 minute intervals, industrial ovens are more similar to an air frier than a domestic oven Hope this helps!

[@martagustafsson5749]

This is Great. I will definitly use these tips if I ever make crackers👍

[@therealbuttsmcgee]

I didn't know about the reason behind water vs milk in recipes! Knowing that explains some of my earliest baking failures (things didn't crisp up, or things I wanted soft got too crisp). Thank you for that and the rest of these insights, they'll serve my baking hobby well 👍👍

[@karlamalcolm9249]

Soooo helpful, thanks!!

[@melody5437]

Fantastic advice! Thanks!

[@hollywebster6844]

Yes! Milk and egg add tenderness. Water is the way to go for crackers.

[@pattyofurniture694]

Tip from a cook: if you want a more even rise (none poofing up), i'd mix your baking powder into your flour with a whisk before cutting in the butter. That way it's more evenly distributed!

[@pattyofurniture694]

And yes. Rolling them thinner will help. I'd recommend a pasta roller machine to roll out the dough if you have one!

[@brissygirl4997]

Self raising flour would work too if you live in a country that has it.

[@scruffy281]

Absolutely!👍🏻

[@nikkiewhite476]

If you look at the recipe Emmy used all of those things are listed. She just didn't bother to follow the directions. She probably just skimmed the recipe... Then she is mystified as usual when it doesn't work.

[@robinlillian9471]

Why would you want dough for crackers to rise? Crackers are unleavened bread. They're basically made of pie dough rolled out flat & baked.

[@womensarmycorpsveteran2904]

Saltine crackers & milk are my most favourite comfort food. When I was 8 years old, I managed to get chicken pox & measles at the same time & was very unwell. On our way home from the doctor’s office we were rear-ended on the freeway in Los Angeles. Dad was driving, bro & sis were in the back seat & I was in the passenger seat on my mother’s lap. My mom injured her back and they thought I had broken my right leg. The ambulance put my mom in the back & I will never forget my amazing ride to the hospital in the front seat of the ambulance between the 2 medics. It was more amazing than a Disneyland ride. After my x-rays they gave me saltine crackers & milk and a balloon. It was so good & for the first time in a while I didn’t throw up. They put me in a room with the lights out until my mom was ready to go home. I fell asleep & my balloon had risen up and was resting on the ceiling. I was gutted but the crackers & milk stuck with me as I felt so safe & loved while I was at that hospital. That was 52 years ago. I’m gonna give this recipe a try & if they taste anything like Premium Saltine Crackers, I will be a happy lady. I live in New Zealand now & they don’t even know what a saltine cracker is.

[@DeeEll86442]

🙋🏼‍♀️Hi Emmy, I have made crackers before and I find if I use pastry flour instead of AP flour I get a lighter, crispier cracker.💁🏼‍♀️ I found that when I used the AP flour for the crackers they were dense and tougher than with the pastry flour. Developing gluten is great for bread but not so good for light, crisp crackers. Also, maybe try using baking SODA instead of baking POWDER. That’s the reason they call them “soda crackers”, because they contain a fair amount of sodium bicarbonate.😉👍

Emmy, if you grate your cold butter in like you would grate cheese, it blends so much easier. If you bake them on a perforated pan they crisp up well.

[@SAtoUSAgirl]

@@joletty1793 I use a Nesco or Cabela's tray dehydrator and put the crackers (baked as a sheet and scored in shapes) warm from the oven, onto the trays, sometimes overlapping and not much separated.

[@zeusathena26]

You'll need to flip them over during baking if you want the bottom to be crispy like the top. I'd agree to baking longer, rolled thinner, or bake it on a rack. I worked in a bakery, so I've had a lot of experience with it.

If you really want to add that saltine flavor, you're going to need to replace a small portion of your flour with diastatic malt powder. All the biggest brands use malt to make saltines taste just right.

@@ElveeKaye yeah that's where I get it. I'm sure if there's a baking specialty store like King Arthur flour in your area it would have it too. For the 4 cups I would probably start by swapping out 1/2 cup of flour for malt to see how you like it and adjust from there.

Emma, how much butter did you add to your flour. Sorry I can’t find the amount anywhere 😮

[@rocksfire4390]

either half as much dough (roll them even thinner) or you might wanna try flipping them half way through. another solution might be to just leave them in the oven (turn it off ofc when they are done). this allows even more time for moisture to leave the crackers. if you don't flip them then i would cover them with another pan so they don't over brown, unless you like that taste i suppose.

[@robinlillian9471]

You can make more at one time if you put the dough you rolled out straight on the baking sheet and cut it on there. The crackers will shrink as they bake and come out separated. I roll the dough out on parchment paper and transfer the whole thing to the pan still on the parchment paper.

Try using water instead of milk in your dough, that will help with the crispness too. I personally would turn your temp down and bake for longer, or dry out your crackers in a cooler oven with a second bake, like with biscotti.

[@teresakerr6264]

[@RedfishInc]

Store bought crackers are rolled to 1mm thickness before baking. They are cut to 5 by 5 mm . The holes in commercial crackers go all the way through the cracker and aren't just pricked. Follow these parameters and I believe you will get a thinner, crisper and more consistent end product.

They look pretty delicious and yes those little tips you mentioned at the end I had some similar thoughts oh and also 👀 "Goal"

Thanks for posting this. I kept looking up how to make cracker crust for St. Louis style pizza, and everything I find just describes how to make boring New York style thin crust which is just normal bread. St. Louis style cracker crust is closer to a half biscuit/half saltine crust. Going to try adjusting this recipe to make what I'm looking for.

Like your videos lots of info with the exception of butter and milk amounts ? Am I suppossed to go to original recipe?

Not a subscriber, but saw your video because I was looking for crackers. Here are a couple things I noticed about your crackers. First, soda crackers are called soda crackers because you use baking soda and not baking powder. It does make a difference. When my grandmother used to make crackers (why I was looking for a recipe) she would do 3 things differently that you didn't do and that might make a difference. 1. She let the dough "rest" for 45 minutes in the fridge after she mixed it. 2. She rolled her dough out almost paper thin. 3. She used a hotter oven. 350 for 15 minutes. She also did not do an egg wash but did use kosher salt just sprinkled on top before baking. Hoping this helps you. I am 59 and it's been close to 4 decades since I saw my Granny make crackers. Have her recipe card but something happened to the part where the ingredients were.

Homemade saltines are so much better than store bought. I use to make them for my kids but since they are now grown I haven't made them in a while. I think I will make them again. FYI, I used my pasta roller to get them real thin and baked on a fine mesh rack. They were more crunchy. Thanks Emmy!

Hello 👋 how are you doing today?

[@LilyBean82]

Rolled thinner and baked in an air fryer on a mesh rack might yield good results. I might try that. Thanks Emmy. :)
