Zesty Ranch Crackers

Zesty Ranch Crackers are one of the things my family considers a staple in the pantry.  I do not keep much “junk food” in the house and this is as close to it as we really get.  These crackers kick up tomato soup and make salads perfect.  But who am I kidding we have been known to have a handful as a snack too.  The pyrography spoon  was made using this WOOD BURNING technique.  I made 8 in a little over an hour and had a ton of fun doing it.  Be prepared to see a lot more of it over the next few months.  I bought more spoons and wood tags to play with too.  I drew the flower by hand and then applied the wood burning tool.

Zesty Ranch Crackers Mix:

2 Tbsp powdered buttermilk
2 Tbsp dried parsley
1 1/2 tsp dried dill
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
