Homemade Oyster Crackers

I decided to make skyline chili again, and usually it is served with a bowl of oyster crackers. I don't have any in the house, because either I will gobble them down (not great for my waistline) or they will go to waste. I decided to try my hand at making them. They are pretty delicious, however, they lack that air bubble in the middle that makes them so endearing. They have a yummy flavor and go great with the Skyline Chili knockoff recipe.

Oyster crackers

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp milk

1. In the bowl of a food processor combine flour, baking powder, salt. Add butter and pulse mealy (mine didn't really get too mealy, so if yours doesn't, don't worry too much about it). Add the milk pulse. Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead until dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator about 10 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 375 F

3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out until desired thickness. Cut the crackers into desired shapes and place on baking sheet (don't need to spray the pan).

4. Bake at 375 F for approx 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Enjoy with chili or soup!
