Once I moved to Minnesota for college I really started to get interested in cooking. I asked my mom for Grandpa’s recipe. I’m sure once I had it in my hot little hands I was shocked at how simple and easy it was to make these delicious little crackers. I’m not sure what I had envisioned, but surely there was more to the recipe than what was written on the card.
My skepticism quickly changed into me making these crackers a few times a year. I’ve altered the recipe over time. Grandpa’s recipe called for a cup of oil and over the years I have slowly decreased that amount. Husband knows these crackers are a special treat. Even though they are easy to make, I feel that if I made them all the time it would take away a little bit of that specialness that accompanies them.
There are many versions and variations of these tasty little crackers floating around. I’ve seen ones with taco seasoning and Montreal Steak seasoning. Ranch, however, is my favorite. There is also a pretzel version that I just may share in the future!
