Peppery Party Crackers from “The Urban Vegan: 250 Street-Smart, Animal-Free Recipes”
Sure, you can drop $4 for a box of fancy crackers at a ritzy [yuk-yuk] gourmet shop. Or you can throw together a batch of these crispy little numbers for under $1. Making your own crackers may sound intimidating, but with the help of a food processor, it’s a snap and a surefire way to impress the hell out of your guests. These zippy crackers are perfect for dunking into your favorite dip or for supporting chunks of your favorite vegan cheese. A few homemade crackers also make a nice topping for soups.
To form the crackers, I use a pastry cutter because it’s quick and simple. But you can make them in any shape you want. You can even get all Martha Stewart on me and use small cookie cutters to create shapes that fit your party’s theme. (For example, use a wedding bell cutter for a bridal shower).
