Here’s a simple Saltine cracker recipe you can easily make at home:
🧂 Homemade Saltine Crackers
🥣 Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp oil or melted butter
- 1/3 cup water (add slowly)
- Extra salt for sprinkling
👩🍳 Steps
1. Make dough
Mix flour, salt, and baking soda.
Add oil, then slowly add water until a smooth dough forms.
2. Roll thin
Roll the dough very thin (this is key for crisp crackers).
3. Cut & shape
Cut into small squares.
Prick each piece with a fork (prevents puffing).
4. Bake
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes until light golden and crisp.
5. Cool
Let them cool completely—they become crispier as they cool.
💡 Tips
- Thinner dough = crunchier crackers
- Watch closely near the end (they burn fast)
- Add garlic powder or herbs for flavor variations
🧠 Simple summary
Saltine crackers are just thin baked flour dough with salt, made crisp in the oven.
If you want, I can also give you a no-oven version or healthier whole wheat version.
