quote nojobro: "How do I tell a good oyster cracker from bad? :) LOL. I should have said a good quality brand name cracker. As far as spicy goes, well, they have a bit of a kick to them. If your not into spicy foods, start with just 1 Tbl of red pepper and see how ya like it. You can always add more if ya like. We make these when we have guests/family over and they always go over really well. Sorta like the Lays Chip commercial. Ya can't eat just one. |

Some of you may have heard of these. For those who have not, your in for a real treat. Kentucky firecrackers Prep time: 5 mins Ingredients 1 Box of Saltine Crackers OR (my favorite) use GOOD Oyster Crackers 1 1/3 cups canola oil 1/8 cup crushed red pepper flakes (grind finer if you like) 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 packet ranch dressing mix (powdered form) Instructions 1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. 2. Pour over the contents of one whole box of saltine crackers. 3. Using your hands, toss crackers gently to coat. 4. Store in an airtight container. 5. Best if allowed to sit overnight, to allow seasonings to blend. Contrary to what you may think, these will NOT get soggy. They remain very crisp and are highly addictive. |

quote h20: "Damn....sounds good, Will try it. Think ground cayenne pepper might work too?" Although red pepper flakes are usually a combination of peppers, cayenne would work just fine. Do NOT use the same amount of Cayenne as you would red pepper flakes though. I'd start with 1 tsp of Cayenne and see how you like it. Always easy to add more, but hard to take away once you added it. lol. |
