Green onion crackers are so easy to make at home! I love how simple this recipe is. You just need a few ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen. These crackers taste fresh and crispy. They make a perfect snack for any time of day. I think you will really enjoy making them with me.

Ingredients for Green Onion Crackers

¼ cup (60g) milk
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
⅓ teaspoon (2g) salt
1⅛ cups (150g) cake flour, sifted
½ teaspoon (2g) yeast
¼ teaspoon (1g) baking soda
¼ cup (35g) chopped green onions (green parts only)
1½ tablespoons (10g) sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Mix the wet stuff: I start by putting milk, melted butter, and salt in a bowl. Then I stir them together.
Add the flour: I sift the cake flour into the bowl. Then I add yeast and baking soda. I mix it gently but not too much.
Put in the green onions: Now I fold in the chopped green onions. If you want sesame seeds, add them now too.
Make the dough: I knead everything together until it forms a nice dough. This takes just a few minutes.
Let it rest: I cover the dough with plastic wrap. Then I wait for 30 minutes. This helps the dough get better.
Roll it out: I put the dough between two pieces of baking paper. Then I roll it very thin and flat.
Cut the crackers: I trim the edges to make them neat. Then I cut the dough into small pieces. I use a fork to make little holes in each piece.
Bake them: I heat my oven to 338°F (170°C). Then I put the crackers on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until they look golden.
Cool down: I let the crackers cool on a wire rack. When they are cool, they will be crispy and ready!

Variations

Cheese version: Add 2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese
Spicy option: Put in a pinch of red pepper flakes
Herb mix: Try dried herbs like rosemary or thyme instead of green onions
Sweet version: Add a little sugar and skip the green onions

FAQs

Q: Can I use regular flour instead of cake flour?
A: Yes, but the crackers might be a bit less tender. Cake flour makes them more delicate.

Q: How long do these crackers stay fresh?
A: They stay crispy for about one week if you keep them in a sealed container.

Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can make the dough and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.

Q: What if I don’t have sesame seeds?
A: That’s fine! The sesame seeds are just for extra flavor. The crackers will still taste great without them.

Q: Can I freeze these crackers?
A: Yes, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just let them thaw at room temperature before eating.
