Buttery Sesame Crackers

Sesame Crackers

It’s funny, but I have never thought of making crackers.  When I am entertaining, I go out and buy them.  I will make crostini, but never crackers.  I was working on appetizer recipes the last couple of months, and started thinking about it.  I remembered these great little Greek butter and sesame crackers I had once, and decided to make the plunge.  It turns out making crackers is not much different from making biscuits or pie dough.  It took a few times to get my recipe where I wanted it, but now it is a breeze to make them.  I made them for Thanksgiving and they were a big hit.  I am so excited to start making them and possibly other crackers when I entertain.  It gives a little something extra to an appetizer spread.  These crackers are delicious, unique, buttery, and have a great cookie/cracker texture.  They are great by themselves and also pair nicely with cheese dips, especially my Garlic Feta Cheese Dip.  I hope you get a chance to try them and make them part of your holidays or next appetizer spread.

Try pairing with these cheese dips:

    Delicious looking crackers Antonia. I tried my hand at making crackers for the first time earlier this year and was pleasantly surprised. It’s one of those things you don’t think to make from scratch but then are pleasantly surprised when they turn out well. The sesame seeds are a wonderful touch!

      Thank you for the kind words Heather! You are so right…it is definitely not something you think of making from scratch. I was pleasantly surprised too 🙂 I can’t wait to try different varieties.

    What a great idea to make your own crackers. Like you, I’ve always bought them in the past, but this lovely recipe has inspired me to have a go! I love a nice buttery flavour, too. They sound, and look, delicious. 🙂

      Thank you Millie! It’s funny, isn’t it? Crackers are usually an afterthought. I am so happy I have inspired you 🙂 If you make these, I hope you enjoy them. These are really tasty and have a great cookie/cracker texture. I am excited to try and make more traditional crackers sometime too. Happy New Year!

        Thanks, I will try to do that soon! I have some pumpernickel flour, I wonder if I can make some kind of cracker with that.

        Awesome 🙂 I bet you can. You may need a little extra moisture. I hope it turns out yummy!

      • 12/31/2015 at 5:28 pm #

        Thanks! If it turns out well, I’ll post. If not, then I’ll just keep it to myself lol 🙂
