I know a lot of people on here said they were crumbly, but it sounded to me like they meant the dough was crumbly to work with.

I didn't have any problems with the dough. I used room temperature butter and it was fine. I used a Cook's Illustrated trick of rolling the dough into a loose log at the edge of some parchment paper, rolling the log up, twisting off one end, and pushing the dough down at the top of the other end. You get a perfect log and you can throw it right into the freezer.

The problem, however, was after they were cooked. Despite the butter, they still stuck to the pan. I didn't grease the pan because of the butter, but next time I will.

Because they stuck, I ended up breaking many of the crackers. Even when I got them off whole, they were so crumbly. You had to be careful holding them.

I cut some thin and some thick just to see the difference. The thick ones were easier to work with, but I don't think you'll get 30-36 crackers this way and they were too strongly flavored. The thin ones were lighter and more delicious, in my opinion, but so fragile that they were almost impossible to do anything with.

I loved the flavor of these and added all the broken pieces to salads and soups, which was delicious, but I wish they came out a little less crumbly, maybe a little more crunchy. I'll be experimenting.

The crackers are fabulous... however, i don't believe the quantity of parmesan is accurate... the recipe says 3 ozs....i believe it should be more like 2-3 cups... that's what i used and the crackers turned out very flavorful...
with 3 ozs there would be no flavor...

Like Cindy from PORTSMOUTH, VA, I too cannot wait to mix up the cheeses and herbs. Ina, you always have the best recipes!

1 cup = 8 ounces
16 tbls. = 1 cup
1 tbl. = 1/2 ounce
6 tbls. = 3 ounces
OR: buy a six-ounce package of cheese and use half of it,
OR: have the deli clerk weigh out 3 ounces for you.

I made these for a baby shower and they were a hit. They were very easy to make. I ate one after they finished cooling and I wasn't very impressed. Very crubmly and the texture was weird. However, after they sat overnight and I served them at the party the next day, they were very yummy. Several people asked for the recipe. I cut mine fairly thin and got about 48 crackers. Double if you need to serve a lot of people.

These were the hit of a brunch I threw for some of my closest girlfriends. We have known each other since elementary school (We're all 54-55 so there's plenty of history. This recipe is easy and delicious and very amenable to personal twists!
