Fry the Crackers.

Removing Crackers from Oil

D.Schmidt
When oil is hot enough, drop crackers in, 2 or 3 at a time. The crackers look like small, hard coins when you drop them in, but will quickly "open" like flowers into beautiful crackers.

Tip: Be sure to remove the crackers as soon as they "open". If left in the oil too long, they will burn.

This is a really fun thing to cook - very fast and furious! Make sure you have a good pair of tongs to remove the crackers quickly.

These crackers are excellent to eat as is - great for a snack! The hard part is saving enough to finish making the appetizer!! You will need at least 15 crackers - choose ones that are flat, or oyster-shaped. (You can eat the really curly ones!)
