I have made my own saltines and I have posted about it here. I have tried
two different recipes, neither of which bear any resemblance to the saltines
that you can buy. I have to avoid barley and the good tasting ones that you
can buy have barley flour in them. I did buy some kind of organic ones with
no barley flour but they were really pretty stale tasting despite them not
being expired.

I will not post the recipes here again. I know I posted at least one of
them but to me they were almost akin to hardtack. Very good flavor but
otherwise not so great.

I have made successful crackers. One was a gluten free recipe that had
finely chopped onion in it. But it was too much work to get a measly 10
crackers from it.

My quest for making good wheat based crackers continues. Many of the
recipes I see call for dairy or egg and I can't use those either. But if I
do manage to find something good, I will post the recipe. I have yet to use
the new rolling pins that I bought. Meanwhile, I stocked up on the Social
Snackers from TJ's. They work for me.

If a person has no food issues then I can't see why they would bother to
make crackers, other than perhaps just to see if they could do it. Which is
sometimes why I actually cook/bake some things.
