First of all, I would like to thank Swathi Iyer for letting
me suggest this month’s challenge. Thanks a lot, Swathi J For this month’s challenge, I have
suggested two types of cracker – SALTINE, GRAHAM CRACKER.
So, what is this CRACKER?....
- A cracker is an baked snack that can be sweet and savoury (Mostly savoury). Alternatively, they are also termed as an ‘savoury cookie’.
- Name of this snack, is believed to come from the caused noise, when these are broken into half.
- Crackers are thin, crisp with an usual square or circle shape. They are known to be topped with herbs, salt, spices or other seasonings.
- They are usually served with dips/cheese-spread/butter/milk.
- These cracker can be yeast-raised or baking powder raised, so in order to prevent raising of dough during baking , these crackers are drilled with holes before switching them to oven, these holes, otherwise called as docking holes, is one characteristic feature of CRACKERS.
