Nancy's Ritzy crackers -- OMG!

mrsezova · 11-27-2005, 10:59 AM

My dh made these crackers for me today as I had extra carbquick I wanted to use up. He brought a few to me at work today to taste. They are awesome!!! He is making more and I have asked him to put a little coarse salt on the tops of the next batch. Rut roh -- I'm doomed!

I found it, I need to try these and soon

NANCY'S RITZY CRACKERS
3/4 cup almond flour, 3 ounces
1/4 cup Carbquik bake mix
2 teaspoons granular Splenda or 2 drops Sweetzfree *
1 egg white
3/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons untoasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Mix all ingredients well in a small bowl. Chill dough about 30 minutes. Drop dough by 1/4 teaspoons onto a parchment-lined 12x17" baking sheet making 24 little piles leaving at least an inch between them. Pick the pieces of dough up one at a time and very gently roll into balls. Cover the dough with plastic wrap (you can use a small piece and move it around as needed) and take a baking powder can, that has about an 1/8" rim around the bottom, and press down firmly over each ball of dough. Be sure to press all the way down to the baking sheet. Peel off the plastic wrap and repeat until all the crackers have been shaped. Prick them with a fork.

Bake at 325º for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. After 15 minutes, check them every couple minutes to make sure they don't get too brown. Cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze for longer storage.

Makes 24 crackers
Can be frozen

* Add 1/2 carb per 2 crackers if using granular Splenda.

Do these actually taste anything like a real cracker? That would be amazing!

I've been meaning to try this recipe! I was leary of it too because I think the almond thins are just alright. Hopefully these are better!

Don't be afraid to try them unless you're very sensitive to the taste of Carbquik. The CQ makes them seem much more like "real" crackers than the regular Almond Thins. If you don't have Carbquik, another really good variation are the Buttery Sesame Crackers. They have a very light delicate texture, but they're not quite as sturdy as the ones with Carbquik.

I made them today and although they're good, I don't think they taste like a ritz cracker. They tasted like and almond cracker so maybe with more CQ or something it would be more Ritzy tasting to me. But they are a

I made them too....Ditto tarter, definitely not a ritz clone. They are okay. I think I actually like the sesame thins better. These were kinda salty, if I make these again I will omit the salt.
