How to Make Scallion Soda Crackers: A Simple Guide

Making scallion soda crackers at home is easy and rewarding. These crispy, savory snacks require just a few basic ingredients and minimal effort. Here’s a step-by-step guide to perfect homemade scallion soda crackers.

Ingredients: You’ll need 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (diced), ½ cup milk, and 3-4 chopped scallions (green parts preferred). For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or sesame seeds.

Steps:

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

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

3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk and chopped scallions, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

4. Knead and rest: Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly for 1-2 minutes, then flatten into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

5. Shape and cut: Roll dough to ⅛-inch thickness. Use a knife or cookie cutter to cut into rectangles or squares.

6. Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.

Tips: For extra crunch, prick crackers with a fork before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy these crackers alone or with dips, cheese, or soups!

This simple recipe yields flavorful, crunchy crackers that taste far better than store-bought ones. Happy baking!
