Oscar Night Homemade Crackers

By Jen

homemade cracker recipe
Every February it happens...the Oscars. I remember the days when I used to attempt to watch all the nominated movies. Ah, remember those days when we had disposable income. Long gone. But, that's okay, we still love watching the show and the pre-game show. The pre-game show in our house is the hours and hours of red carpet analysis that happens before the show begins. Just like the Superbowl pre-game show, we watch the Oscar pre-game show. This year we'll be snacking on crackers and cheese while watching...I discovered this easy and delicious recipe for crispy homemade crackers. These crackers would be perfect for any Oscar party...with kids or without. Grab some cheese and a few grapes and you have a lovely cracker and cheese tray to take out to an Oscars party.

9. Store in an air tight container for 1 week.
Yep, these crackers are crisp and light. If you like, you can add a quick shake of course salt to the crackers right before you pop them in the oven. I also made a batch of crackers without thyme, for a little variety. These crackers are perfect for hanging with my family watching the Oscars, but they are lovely enough to take to a friend's house with some gourmet cheeses.
Will you be watching the Oscars this weekend? What will you be snacking on while you watch the show?

      Sorry for the delay Chloe. Just a pinch of salt will do.
