If you have SourDough starter discard, you can even make your own crackers. It's super simple and they can be flavored however you like. I add parmesan cheese and other spices. My hubby likes them completely plain (with scant salt).

That is a good use of starter discard!

Melt 2 Tbsp butter, let cool somewhat.
Add 1/4 tsp salt & 3/4 cup discard. Stir to blend.
Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. (Try to make a consistent thickness across the sheet.)
Sprinkle with another 1/4 tsp salt.
Bake at 325
Length of baking time depends on how thin the dough is spread. After 10 minutes of baking, I pull out of oven and cut portions (see my pics above), then return to oven. Mine usually bake an additional 25 minutes after that but keep a close eye so they don't burn.

Cutting them isn't necessary. You can also just break them into pieces after baking. I prefer to cut them though before they get brittle for more even pieces.

Flavor can be plain, as above, or however you like. I've added parmesan cheese, tomato-chicken boullion, Italian herbs, garlic & onion.... try whatever you like.

Spread on a baking sheet.

Do you use parchment paper, or greas the baking sheet so that they don't stick?

Oh, man I will be trying this soon! THANK YOU!

baking once a week.....

Still keeping the furnace off here by virtue of the wood stove. I like to see how late in the year we can keep it that way. I have the thermostat set at 62 right now. I won't let it get that low. I just haven't changed it to 65 yet!

The heat pumps are doing the work now, will save the wood stove for when it is colder and the heat pumps use a lot of electricity.
