Crackers and Dip

Crackers and Dip 

Tis the season of snack foods! I love this time of year, there is always so much fun baking to do! 

One of my family’s favorite holiday snacks is Crackers and Dip. Sometimes we have crackers, sometimes we don’t. Such is life when you live 3 hours outside of town. Whenever we’re in bind, we make our own! It’s super easy! 

Crackers:

Combine dry ingredients in a blender or bowl and pulse or mix until combined. Add the butter and pulse or cut in until mixture resembles sand. Slowly add water until you have a dough that is easy to roll out. I used ½ cup plus a teaspoon last time I made these… but the time before I didn’t need the whole ½ cup. I guess it depends on your flour weight. Allow dough to rest for at least 15 min. Roll dough out as thin as you want the crackers. (Actually, slightly thinner, they will puff up a little bit) Cut out circles or squares, and place them on a cookie sheet. Stab each cracker with a fork. Beat the egg until completely smooth. Using a brush or your fingers, brush each cracker with the egg. Bake until edges start to brown. Cool, and enjoy! 

Dip:

Combine ingredients in a jar, and mix well. You can also add the dry ingredients, and keep them in ziptop bags in the freezer. Then use them as you would use an onion soup mix 😉 

Dips are so easy to be creative with! You don’t have to have a soup mix or a packet of premade spices to make a good dip. Get creative and start throwing some spices into your sour cream! Maybe some shredded cheese or some cracker crumbs. Maybe even some diced jalapenos or something. The sky is the limit!
