# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They transform the most basic crackers into something people will hover around at parties
  • The whole process takes maybe 20 minutes but makes you look like you put in actual effort
  • You probably have everything in your fridge right now
02 -
  • The crackers continue crisping as they cool, so dont worry if they feel slightly soft right out of the oven
  • If your butter mixture starts separating while youre brushing it on, just give it another quick whisk
  • These are best the same day but will keep for a few days if you can manage not to eat them all immediately
03 -
  • Work quickly once you start brushing the crackers so the butter doesnt solidify before it coats evenly
  • If you dont have a pastry brush, the back of a spoon actually works fine, just be gentle so you dont break the crackers
