Ritz Crackers From Scratch

You know that iconic red box wit the brown sleeves of buttery, crunchy cracker? Of course you do.  Who hasn’t had an appetizer or snack with a Ritz cracker as the base?  Ritz peanut butter sandwiches, Ritz and cheese, Ritz and tuna salad… the list goes on and on of what I used to eat Ritz with as a kid. Now, as an adult, let me introduce you to Ritz Crackers From Scratch!

So they’re not as golden brown as your classic Ritz, but let me tell you, that’s the only thing that is not completely Ritz like about these little guys.  Otherwise, they are right on point, much to my husbands surprise and delight!

• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp + another 1/2 tsp salt for topping
