Real COUPONS: Print them from your computer.
 

Hi, Nancy and 'Landers! This is for LIN who wants a savory saltine recipe. This is TNT, is fun (although tedious) to make and TASTY.

This can be doubled or tripled.

Ice-Water Crackers (that are easier than they look)
24 saltine crackers (that's 24..just break 12 double crackers into two)
1/2 stick butter (no substitute)
Ice water

Optional sprinkles for tops: seeds, dried onion flakes, garlic powder, etc.

Preheat oven to 400 °. Grease a cookie sheet or two.

Have ready a bowl of ice water (THE WATER MUST BE REALLY ICY). You'll have to keep icing it up as you go along.

Melt the butter (nuke is the easiest) and have ready a pastry brush.

Drop the crackers in the water, no more than 6 at a time (just do one or two until you get the hang of it). After 25-30 seconds (NO MORE) carefully but quickly lift them out, allow water to drip off and place on a cookie sheet. Don't try to do too many at once, or by the time you get to the last ones they will have become soggy.

When your cookie sheet is full, brush each cracker generously with the melted butter. Don't use too much pressure, or you will flatten the crackers.

At this time, you can sprinkle some of whatever you want on the tops. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes, then turn heat down to 300. Continue to toast for an additional 10-15 minutes. Cool completely. Store in container with tight lid; they keep for a while if you don't let any moisture get at them. I like them with a little bit of Old Bay seasoning.
