Saltine crackers

Saltine crackers are thin, crisp crackers made with wheat flour, oil, yeast and various flavorings.  The traditional version has tops which have been sprinkled with salt and thus the name, Saltines.  The otherwise bland-flavored cracker can be eaten with soups,  salads, cheeses. The crackers are sometimes crumbled and mixed with butter then used as a topping over baked casseroles or vegetables.

Table water crackers, or, if serving with soup use oyster crackers or croutons

1 1/2 cups saltine crackers = 21 squares
30 crackers = 1 cup fine crumbs
1 lb pkg = 130-140 crackers or 4 1/2 cups fine crumbs
