Best Valindas Oyster Crackers Recipes

SALTED TOFFEE OYSTER CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Line a baking pan with aluminum foil then spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a medium sized, heavy-bottomed, saucepan set over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using). While stirring gently and very slowly, bring the mixture to a boil slowly and over steady heat. Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature. Continue stirring very slowly and gently (it is a slow process). Boil 3-4 minutes or until the thermometer registers 270°-290°F and becomes lighter in color and "fluffier". Turn off the heat and add the oyster crackers."
• Now, working quickly so the brown sugar/butter mixture doesn't set up, pour the toffee/oyster crackers onto the prepared baking sheet and try to spread them out to a single layer. (If it is too difficult to spread the crackers into a single layer at this point, don't worry - it will be possible in a few minutes.)
• Sprinkle the crackers lightly with coarse sea salt or kosher salt.
• Place the crackers on a middle rack in the hot oven and bake 2 minutes.
• Remove the crackers from the oven and smooth them out to a single layer.
• Place back in the oven and bake for 3 more minutes.
• After a total 5 minutes baking time, remove from oven and place the pan on a cooling rack to cool for 5 minutes.
• Once they are cool enough to handle, pick up the edges of the aluminum foil that is under the crackers and bring the edges together so the crackers roll together.
• Remove from the foil, break into individual pieces and place on foil or parchment paper to cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container.

POLENTA CRACKERS WITH ROASTED WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the crackers: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, cornmeal, Parmesan, tarragon, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until incorporated. Add the heavy cream and process until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a little more cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
• Lightly flour a sheet of parchment paper and place the dough on top. Shape the dough into a rectangle with your hands, then lightly flour the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin until it is a little less than 1/4 inch thick (about a 15-by-12-inch rectangle). Poke all over with a fork. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles and carefully transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
• For the mushrooms: Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Toss the mushrooms with the oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Roast, stirring once or twice, until tender and well browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, tarragon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and top with the tarragon-lemon juice mixture.
• Serve the crackers with the mushrooms on the side for topping.
