Scallion Soda Crackers: A Simple Homemade Guide

Craving crispy, savory snacks? These scallion soda crackers are a breeze to make with pantry staples, offering a delightful crunch and fresh onion aroma. Here’s a go-to recipe:

Ingredients: You’ll need 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ cup cold unsalted butter (cubed), ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 3-4 chopped scallions (green parts only), and ⅔ cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice).

Steps:

1. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

2. Cut in butter: Rub cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Add-ins: Stir in Parmesan and scallions.

4. Combine liquids: Pour buttermilk gradually, mixing until a shaggy dough forms—don’t overmix.

5. Shape & chill: Pat dough into a ½-inch thick rectangle, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.

6. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll dough to ⅛-inch thickness, cut into squares, and prick with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cool completely for crispiness.

Variations: Add sesame seeds, garlic powder, or substitute scallions with herbs like rosemary. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. These crackers pair perfectly with soups or dips—enjoy your homemade treat!
