Homemade Crackers Recipe Uk
I’ll also give you ideas for different toppings and flavourings. You can even use Easy Homemade Crackers as a base for canapés.
How many times have you picked up a packet of crackers or savoury biscuits in a store, turned it over to look at the ingredients, and found it contained palm oil? Too many, I’ll bet.
While the majority of what we eat at our house is made at home from unprocessed vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat, etc., crackers are something which, until recently, we’ve always bought ready made. I suppose it’s because, most of the time, you just want a handful, so assume it’s not worth making a batch.
Homemade Graham Crackers
But, after discovering that so many shop bought crackers and savoury biscuits contain palm oil, I decided to have a go at making my own.
And I’m so glad I did. Not only are they dead simple, but they stay good and crunchy for weeks in an airtight container.
Whether you make them plain to go with cheese or for dipping, top with seeds or other goodies, you’ll find loads of uses for these fab
Easy Keto Crackers With Rosemary And Parmesan
The dough’s really easy to work with. There’s no resting or chilling. And, unless you want fancy shapes, there’s not a lot of cutting out and re-rolling.
I just roll the dough very thinly (no more than 1 or 2 mm) onto a piece of baking parchment and mark it into squares or rectangles.
You don’t need to cut all the way through the dough, although I accidentally did in some of these images. But it doesn’t really matter as long as you don’t go through the paper. Using a pizza wheel makes marking out nice and quick.

The crackers cook very quickly, in around 10 minutes. You might find ones at the edges are done in 5 minutes, so I snap those off and put the rest back in the oven.
If you didn’t roll the dough really thinly, you may need to turn the crackers over just to dry out the other side. This will only take another minute or so.
Once the crackers are lovely and golden, put them on a wire rack until cool enough to handle. Then just snap them apart along the lines you made and it’s done. Crispy, crunchy
Homemade Crackers For Christmas And Beyond
For my first batch of crackers, I topped the rolled out dough with all kinds of seeds. Fennel. Cumin. Flaxseed. Sesame. To get the seeds to stick, brush the rolled out dough with water before sprinkling the seeds.
Press the seeds gently into the dough by lightly going over them with a rolling pin. Then go in with your knife or pizza wheel and cut into into squares or strips.
I took another batch of the crunchy, seedy crackers to BBC Radio Stoke’s local food and drink show, The Takeaway , when I was invited to their Christmas special. They went down pretty well with three of my homemade dips: Feta & Yogurt , a red, tomatoey version of my chilli and herb Zhug plus Baba Ganoush with Roasted Garlic .
Amazing Seeded Crackers
Was the discovery that a certain well known maker of cream crackers uses palm oil in their product. (By the way, cream crackers don’t contain any cream. Apparently, the name refers to the method originally used to make them.)
Like many Brits, I grew up with cream crackers. If you fancied a cheese and cracker snack, they were what you went for. Simple, non-fancy, and a great partner for cheese or even just butter.
Go wonderfully well with cheese too. So good, I even topped them with some of my very last jar of favourite Smoky Tomato-Chilli Chutney . The combination of crisp cracker, creamy mature Cheddar plus hot and sweet chutney was a winner.

I made up a batch including Manchego cheese with two types of chutney, cream cheese with chopped red pepper, Smoked Salmon Paté , and Baba Ganoush .
, so far I’ve stuck to squares and rectangles. But there’s no reason you can’t bring out your favourite cookie cutters for all manner of shapes. Just bring your scraps together and reuse as you would any other dough.
You can use your imagination and flavour the basic recipe however you like. Here’s a few ideas of things you could mix into the dough or just sprinkle over the top:
Sourdough Crackers Recipe
, I was very disciplined. To find out how long they stayed fresh, I kept a few back. Every day or so I took one from the sealed plastic box I kept them in and ate it.
I’m happy to report that the batch made on 20th December were only just showing signs of being passed their best on day 17. They were fine to eat, but didn’t taste quite as fresh. Still, over two weeks shelf life is pretty good for a homemade cracker, I reckon.
The amounts shown in the recipe should be enough to fill four standard, shallow baking trays, so you’ll need to work with a quarter of the dough at a time. You can have a batch in the oven while you’re rolling out the next one.
Japanese Rice Crackers Recipe (homemade Senbei)
If you don’t want that many crackers, then halve the ingredients or make the whole batch of dough and freeze part of it for another day. I’ve made these crackers from previously frozen dough and noticed no difference in quality.
Since writing this post I’ve created loads more recipes for savoury biscuits and crackers. Check out this post where I bring them all together:
Homemade Crackers are incredibly easy & avoid the palm oil found in many shop bought ones. Perfect with cheese, topped with seeds or as a base for canapes.To make homemade crackers, all you need is a few simple ingredients and a little time. These crackers come out thin, crisp, and delicate. A great addition to any party.
Seedy Oat Crackers Recipe
I have a confession. I can cook—in fact, I would dare say I’m a pretty mean cook. But I’m a horrible baker.
It’s a common misconception that if you can cook, you can bake. Although that may be the case for some, it’s very much not the case for me. Seriously, one time I baked a dozen door stops. They were perfect little door stops! Problem is, they were supposed to be cupcakes.
Making crackers is very simple. The recipe? It’s basically a pasta recipe without the eggs. All you need is flour, water, and oil. Then add a little sugar and salt for flavor. Believe me, once you make crackers, you’ll be making your own all the time.
Keto Crackers Just 2 Ingredients!
They’re great to make ahead in bulk for snacking during the week, or as an addition to a killer cheese board. I love this recipe because it’s so easy to customize and make your own. Change out the fat for a different flavor and add some fresh herbs or cheese. Is texture your thing? Sprinkle the crackers with some seeds to add a touch of nuttiness and crunch.
The thinner you roll the dough, the more delicate and crispier your cracker will be. But be careful because they will also bake faster. I like to make my crackers long and narrow but you can make them any shape you like. Whichever shape you choose, do your best to make all the crackers uniform so they bake evenly. Piercing the crackers is also important to keep the crackers from puffing up like little balloons.
So, are you going to make some crackers? Picture how awesome it will be to present your guests with a fabulous cheese and charcuterie board. And when they ask where you bought the crackers, you can flip your hair back and say, “Oh, these crackers? I made them myself.”
