After making a sleeve of Fire-Eater saltines the other day, I had to keep trying other flavors. I mean, there’s good and then there’s crazy good. These Ranch saltines are definitely crazy good. Great Ranch flavor on a crunchy yummy cracker. That’s all you’ll need, trust me. Yes, you could slather a bit of cream cheese on them too, but I found them addicting enough just as they are. It’s the easiest snack cracker you could ever make.
Buy It Or Make It
Buy Ranch seasoning in bulk or if you prefer you can make it at home. Check out my homemade version. And add more if you want. I’m a Ranch addict, so I put extra on my Ranch saltines.
Would it be wrong to dip these in Ranch dressing? Nope. That’s a silly question!
Flavor Me Crackers, Mate!
I use the same base recipe any time that I make flavored saltine crackers: a sleeve of crackers, 1/3 cup of oil, and whatever flavoring I am using. It’s just that simple. I try to not use super-salt seasonings as the crackers have a little salt on them to begin with.
Rock Me Gently
The recipe calls for putting the crackers into a resealable baggie along with the oil and seasoning and then tossing gently. I do mean ‘gently’, too. You start going crazy shaking the bag around like you’re saucing Buffalo wings or coating chicken legs in flour and bad things are going to happen. The crackers are gonna break. Crumbs will fly. The oil will combine with the cracker crumbs and form a paste. You don’t want any of that to happen.
So close the bag and slowly just turn it around. You don’t have to do it long. Just long enough to get the mixture distributed even. You want folks to grab a cracker and have it look just like the last one they ate.
