A true southern lady always keeps her pantry stocked with the necessary requirements to throw together a last minute social engagement. These cracker varieties are a tried and true favorite. They are excellent as an hors d’oeuvre or snacker. Pair them with any dairy based dip and you have a winning combination. They are also fantastic crumbled on top of a salad. I do not know where they originated. But they are delicious. Two varieties are listed below and are prepared the same way. Dill Crackers 1 box Saltine Crackers (4 sleeves) 3 Tablespoons Dill Weed 1 Package ranch seasoning 1 1/2 cups Canola oil Fire Crackers 1 box Saltine Crackers (4 sleeves) 3 Tablespoons Red Pepper Flakes 1 Package ranch seasoning 1 1/2 cups Canola oil Mix the dill weed or pepper flake, ranch seasoning, and oil in a container.Place the crackers in a one gallon zip top bag. Pour the oil mixture over the crackers. Zip the bag and roll it around till the crackers are coated. Turn the bag at least 4 times over the next 2 hours to ensure proper absorption. Store in an airtight container. For a stronger flavor allow the oil mixture to infuse for up to an hour before adding it to the crackers. Share this:Tweet
