Soda Cream Crackers

For Day 2, week 2 of BM #48, here is a version of Soda Cream Crackers which are a delight to munch on.

There are several version of these crackers on the web. Of all of them I found these would be better received by the kids at home. I cannot say about the other versions, but these were definitely given a big thumbs up!!

Recipe adapted from here
Ingredients - 

All Purpose Flour / Maida 1 1/2 cups
Instant Yeast 1/2 tsp (I used Active Dry yeast)
Salt 1/2 tsp
Baking Soda 1/4 tsp
Sugar 1 Tbsp + more for dusting
Whipped Cream 1 cup
Milk 2 Tbsp or as needed 

Method Of Preparation -


In a tablespoon of warm water sprinkle couple pinches of sugar and add yeast to it, mix and set aside for proofing.

In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt, baking soda and sugar. Mix well.

Add the whipped cream and the yeast solution and knead. Add milk as needed to get a soft and pliable dough. Cover and set aside the dough in a warm place.

After about an hour when the dough has doubled, roll out the dough into 2-3 mm thick rectangle and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. Poke the cut out shapes with a fork.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Sprinkle sugar on them and arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 min or until they turn a shade of golden brown.

Remove and allow them to cool on the wire rack.

To get a crispier cracker, bake the cooled crackers again at 300 °F for about 10 min. Allow to cool and store in an air tight container.
