# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They disappear faster than you can bake them, so consider doubling the batch
  • The ingredient list is hiding in your pantry right now, but the result tastes gourmet
02 -
  • Do not skip the cooling step, warm crackers are good but room temperature ones are transcendent
  • The seasoning looks thick when you brush it on, but it settles perfectly during baking
03 -
  • Use a pastry brush for even coverage, but a spoon works in a pinch
  • Let the melted butter cool slightly before mixing so it does not cook the pickle juice
