蘇打餅乾 Crackers -"Polly want a cracker?"

"Polly want a cracker?"

I don't have a pet parrot, but the voice "Polly want a cracker?" always comes up when I make crackers. I guess I watched Treasure Island too many times on TV when I was small.   Hummm...."Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum..." (don't put rum into the recipe!)

well, I used Fleur de Sel...

用餅乾壓模壓出喜愛的形狀, 之後灑上胡椒和鹽巴調味

放到烤盤紙上後用叉子戳出幾個洞 (防止烘烤時變形)
