These crispy, flaky homemade crackers are a savory take on classic saltines, enhanced with fresh green onion. Easy to prepare and full of flavor, they’re perfect as a snack or party appetizer.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24–30 crackers

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 1/4 cup cold water (as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
  3. Add cold butter and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the chopped green onion.
  5. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough just comes together.
  6. Roll dough very thinly (about 1/16 inch) on a floured surface.
  7. Cut into squares or rectangles and place on prepared baking sheet.
  8. Prick each cracker with a fork and sprinkle with salt.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
  10. Let cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Add sesame or poppy seeds for extra texture.
  • Mix in grated cheddar for a cheesy variation.
  • Try garlic powder or smoked paprika for bold flavor.
  • Use rosemary or thyme instead of green onion for an herbal twist.
  • Re-crisp in oven at 300°F for 3–5 minutes if needed.
