137 American Crackers – Biscuit by Another Name or Another Thing?

  • Resumen

  • This week I've gone crackers. I've wondered for awhile why it's biscuits everywhere else - but sometimes ... it's crackers.
    I mean, the most British of British claymation - Wallace and Grommit, when they go to the moon to get cheese, even they bring crackers.... not biscuits.

    That, and a few other things had me wondering if crackers and biscuts DIDN'T come from the same source? Rather did the two just meet in America. Turns out - that's what it was.

    It was Douglas Mack of The Snack Shack that got me stared with this post on biscuit and cracker mysteries of the past: The Snack That's a Secret Ingredient

    And here are the llinks to @oliviacooks excellent cracker recipes made with sourdough discard:

    Love & Olive Oil -
    Sourdough Crackers
    Siicilian Parchment Sourdough Crackers (pane carasau)
    both include a non-sourdough version.

    Find out how it was New Sweden all along. Or maybe not that... but they were involved. Anyway, be glad your crackers have fat and leavening in them.
