# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in literally twenty minutes start to finish
  • The ranch flavor gets into every tiny crevice of the crackers
  • Everyone will ask you for the recipe but nobody will believe how easy it is
02 -
  • Stirring halfway through baking prevents some pieces from burning while others stay soft
  • These might taste slightly soft when they first come out of the oven but they crisp up as they cool
  • Do not skip the cooling step or you will end up with chewy crackers instead of crispy ones
03 -
  • Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet rather than transferring them
  • A silpat mat works even better than parchment for easy cleanup
