Homemade Saltine Crackers

Keep them classic or add spices and seeds for a gourmet twist.
Roll nearly paper-thin for maximum crunch and an even bake.

Bake: 15–20 minutes

Yield: 80–120 crackers

Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 1/3 cups milk (or unsweetened almond/oat milk)
Coarse salt, for sprinkling
1 egg white or 1 egg yolk + 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Optional seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried herbs, sesame seeds, cracked pepper, everything bagel seasoning

Step-By-Step Instructions
Make egg wash: Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water; set aside.
Combine dry: Whisk flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Stir in any optional seasonings.
Cut in butter: Work in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add milk: Pour in milk gradually, stirring just until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly to smooth.
Divide & roll: Split dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface until almost paper-thin.
Cut: Slice into small squares or rectangles. Transfer to ungreased baking sheets.
Dock & finish: Prick each cracker several times with a fork. Brush lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt or toppings.
Bake: Heat oven to 325°F (165°C). Bake 15–20 minutes, rotating pans halfway, until golden and crisp.
Cool & store: Cool completely on racks. Store airtight up to 2 weeks; they stay crispiest the first 7–10 days.
