MILK CRACKERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook celery and onions in butter until tender, adding chopped giblets if desired.
• Crush crackers coarsely (hand crushing in the sleeve for saltines works well.) Pour into mixing bowl.
• Scald milk, then add to coarsely crushed cracker crumbs. Allow to sit for 5 minutes. Gently, but thoroughly stir in onion mixture, eggs, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix gently but well.
• Spread into buttered casserole dish. (Filling will puff lightly when baking due to the eggs, use a deep enough dish)
• Bake 350F for 50 - 55 minutes or until nicely browned on the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and sugar until combined. Add butter pieces, and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. With the machine running, gradually add milk; process until dough comes together. Cover dough with plastic wrap, and allow to relax at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Unwrap dough, and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll into 17 1/2-by-17 1/2-inch square, 1/16 inch thick (if dough continues to spring back, allow to relax again, covered with plastic wrap, for another 10 minutes). Sprinkle dough lightly with coarse salt. Gently press salt into dough with the rolling pin.
• Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 2 1/2-inch squares. With a thin spatula, transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Liberally pierce with fork. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp, rotating baking sheets if needed for even cooking. Let cool on wire rack. Keep crackers in an airtight container, at room temperature, about 1 week.
