Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients like butter or eggs, take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you start baking. This will help them incorporate more easily into the batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the crackers tough.
  • Chill the Dough: Before baking the crackers, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This will help the crackers hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Bake the Crackers Until Golden Brown: When baking the crackers, bake them until they are golden brown. This will give them a nice, crispy texture.
