A cracker is a flat, dry baked biscuit typically made with flour. Flavorings or seasonings, such as salt, herbs, seeds, or cheese, may be added to the dough or sprinkled on top before baking.[1] Crackers are often branded as a nutritious and convenient way to consume a staple food or cereal grain.
Crackers can be eaten on their own, but can also accompany other food items such as cheese or meat slices, fruits, dips, or soft spreads such as jam, butter, peanut butter, pâté, or mousse. Bland or mild crackers are sometimes used as a palate cleanser in food product testing or flavor testing, between samples. Crackers may also be crumbled and added to soup.[2] The modern cracker is somewhat similar to nautical ship's biscuits,[3] military hardtack, chacknels,[4] and sacramental bread. Other early versions of the cracker can be found in ancient flatbreads, such as lavash, pita, matzo, flatbrød, and crispbread. Asian analogues include papadum and senbei.
In American English, the name "cracker" usually refers to savory or salty flat biscuits, whereas the term "cookie" is used for sweet items. Crackers are also generally made differently: crackers are made by layering dough, while cookies, besides the addition of sugar, usually use a chemical leavening agent, may contain eggs, and in other ways are made more like a cake.[5] In British English, crackers are sometimes called water biscuits,[6][7] or savoury biscuits.
Graham crackers and digestive biscuits are also treated more like cookies than crackers, although they were both invented for their supposed health benefits, and modern graham crackers are sweet. Similarly, animal crackers are crackers in name only. Animal crackers and Graham crackers may have docking holes.[citation needed]
Cracker brands include Bremner Wafers, Captain's Wafers, Cheese Nips, Club Crackers, Goldfish crackers, In a Biskit, Jacob's, Ritz Crackers, Town House crackers, Triscuit, TUC, and Wheat Thins, among others.
Cracker, sometimes cracka or white cracker, is a racial epithet directed towards white people,[1][2][3] used especially with regard to poor rural whites in the Southern United States.[4] Although commonly a pejorative, it is also used in a neutral context, particularly in reference to a native of Florida or Georgia (see Florida cracker and Georgia cracker).[5]
The compound corn-cracker was used of poor white farmers (by 1808), especially from Georgia, but also extended to residents of northern Florida, from the cracked kernels of corn which formed a staple food of this class of people. This possibility is given in the 1911 edition of Encyclopædia Britannica,[14] but the Oxford English Dictionary says a derivation of the 18th-century simplex cracker from the 19th-century compound corn-cracker is doubtful.[15][16]
It has been suggested that white slave foremen in the antebellum South were called "crackers" owing to their practice of "cracking the whip" to drive and punish slaves.[17][18][19] Whips were also cracked over pack animals,[20][21] so "cracker" may have referred to whip-cracking more generally. According to An American Glossary (1912):[22]
Another possibility, which may be a modern folk etymology, supposes that the term derives from "soda cracker", a type of light wheat biscuit which dates in the Southern US to at least the Civil War.[23] The idea has possibly been influenced by "whitebread", a similar term for white people. "Soda cracker" and even "white soda cracker" have become extended versions of "cracker" as an epithet.[24]
"Cracker" has also been used as a proud or jocular self-description in the past.[25] With the huge influx of new residents from the North, "cracker" is used informally by some white residents of Florida and Georgia ("Florida cracker" or "Georgia cracker") to indicate that their family has lived there for many generations.
Frederick Law Olmsted, a prominent landscape architect from Connecticut, visited the South as a journalist in the 1850s and wrote that "some crackers owned a good many Negroes, and were by no means so poor as their appearance indicated."[26]
In On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin quotes a Professor Wyman as saying, "one of the 'crackers' (i.e. Virginia squatters) added, 'we select the black members of a litter [of pigs] for raising, as they alone have a good chance of living."
Late 19th century cattle drivers of the southeastern scrub land cracked whips to move cattle.[27] Many slaves and free blacks joined the Seminoles and found work in the cattle business.[28] Descendants of crackers are often proud of their heritage.[25]
In 2008, former President Bill Clinton used the term "cracker" on Larry King Live to describe white voters he was attempting to win over for Barack Obama: "You know, they think that because of who I am and where my politic[al] base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the 'cracker vote' there."[31]
On June 27, 2013, in the trial of George Zimmerman concerning the killing of Trayvon Martin, a witness under examination (Rachel Jeantel) testified that Martin, an African-American, had told her over the telephone that a "creepy ass cracker is following me" minutes before the altercation between the two occurred. Zimmerman's attorney then asked her if "creepy ass cracker" was an offensive term, to which she responded "no". The testimony and response brought about both media and public debate about the use of the word "cracker". A CNN report referred to the regional nature of the term, noting both that "some in Florida use the term in a non-derogatory, colloquial sense" and that it is sometimes regarded as a "sharp racial insult that resonates with white southerners even if white northerners don't get it".[32]
A 1783 pejorative use of crackers specified men who "descended from convicts that were transported from Great Britain to Virginia at different times, and inherit so much profligacy from their ancestors, that they are the most abandoned set of men on earth".[33]
In his 1964 speech "The Ballot or the Bullet", Malcolm X used the term "cracker" in reference to white people in a pejorative context.[35] In one passage, he remarked, "It's time for you and me to stop sitting in this country, letting some cracker senators, Northern crackers and Southern crackers, sit there in Washington, D.C., and come to a conclusion in their mind that you and I are supposed to have civil rights. There's no white man going to tell me anything about my rights."[35]
In 2012, in Jacksonville, Florida, Michael Dunn murdered Jordan Davis in an argument over loud music coming from a car. Dunn alleged that he had heard the word "cracker" coming from the vehicle occupied by high school aged teenagers.[37][38][39] This claim, along with other details in Dunn's testimony, was not substantiated by other witnesses in the criminal proceedings.[40]
You could also make this crumb crust with vanilla wafers or Ritz crackers instead of graham crackers. For an easy Oreo crust, see my Oreo Crust guide. And for an easy Biscoff cookie crust, see my Biscoff Crust guide.
Hi Michael! You can definitely use this graham cracker crust for 24 mini pies. The exact amount needed will depend on the size of your mini pies. You can reference our mini key lime pies recipe for mini pies made in a muffin tin.
Love these and make them often. Also, I always have a loaf of the Life Changing Bread in the house. I make the crackers with cracked peppercorns and dried cranberries. Any thoughts on how to keep them from falling apart? I have sesame and flax seeds all over the place. ?
We featured these crackers in Episode 124 of our baking podcast, Preheated! Wow life changing for sure! I made the rosemary garlic and my co-host made the fig anise version. So good, so easy, and a good travel food!
I tried dehydrating the crackers rather than baking them (tried them baked a number of times and liked them). It took almost 3 hours on the drying cycle in my convection oven, which is convect, 190F, door slightly open. They turned out great, guess they are considered dehydrated raw food. They turned out really well.
These are amazing! My husband and I are trying really hard to buy nothing that comes in wrapping, especially plastic. So that means that crackers are out of the question. Until now! I buy all these ingredients in bulk with reusable bags and voila! Our waste free crackers are made!
The flavors is on, but to make it is a mess!
The dough was horrible I had to put lots of oat flour to get the right consistence otherwise I could not transfer to baking sheet. I bake mine in a pizza tin for 30 minutes and still row ?? I turn on the grill after more 10 minutes and that save my crackers but just on the surface was good and the bottom really humid. Never more and I dont know where I went wrong Thanks
Love these crackers! I halve the recipe and omit the psyllium seeds and replace it with an extra tablespoon of chia seeds and half tablespoons of oats and flax seeds. I take it out of the oven after 28 minutes otherwise it starts to burn. Mine crumble when I attempt to eat it with a dip but they are perfect plain. These are now my go to snack!
These crackers are fantastic. As far as nutritional information. There are free apps available that calculate nutrition information for you. I have my fitness pal loaded on my phone and can plug in any recipe and get basic nutritional breakdown such as sugar, carbs, calories etc. A handy tool for those of us who do not eat out of a box.
Igrind up almonds in food processor it seems to work I also subsitute the egg white with a chia seed mixture that i use alot when not using eggs 1 tbsp chia seed to 3 tbsp water let sit until water is absorbed, although the ouside crackers seem to break up so not so sure if the oats help give the crackers more form,
They just came out of the oven. I made both variations. To keep it simple, mine baked in two 1/4 sheet pans. They are more like a flat bread than a cracker but just delicious. I really enjoy the anise and fig. What about using Ouzo or Pastis to soak the ingredients? I wonder if the alcohol would mess up the final texture?
