Crackers, anyone?

Does anyone here have an experience with making crackers? Any recipes they'd recommend?

I got an email asking about cracker recipes and I've never made them. This weekend I'm not going to be around. Otherwise, I'd try a few recipes out.

That is very funny. But I just looked at his dog biscuit recipe and, I have to admit, they do sound pretty good! I'll have to try them some time.

I am going to try making graham crackers tomorrow. My grandfather actually had a recipe that his mother used when he was a child (circa 1920's). I'll take pictures and pass along the recipe and results after I try it out. :)

Though I've not done it, I've read that mostly any bread can be made into crackers. All you do is simply roll the dough out to a very thin, cracker-thickness and baked it. I have a recipe I usually make and some times I'll add garlic/onion powder in, or maybe some ground flax seed to make it healthier. Just a thought. :)

if I want a really uniform thickness, I simply run the dough through my pasta machine...works like a charm. I find that being in about 4" strips they bake more evenly and cool more quickly
