Description

These V-8 Crackers offer a unique twist on homemade snacks, combining the savory depth of vegetable juice with a subtle heat from cracked pepper and hot sauce. The dough comes together easily, resulting in thin, crisp bites that are perfect for parties or as a low-calorie alternative to traditional chips. With their vibrant color and robust flavor, they pair wonderfully with dips, cheeses, or simply on their own. Made with just a few pantry staples, these crackers are a quick, satisfying treat that brings a homemade touch to any gathering.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325&# 194;°F (163ðC).
  2. Stir together the flour, salt, and cracked pepper in a large bowl or food processor.
  3. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  4. In a separate small bowl, mix the V-8 juice and hot pepper sauce.
  5. Add the V-8 mixture to the flour mixture and blend until a cohesive dough ball forms.
  6. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions.
  7. On a floured surface, roll each portion thin, about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick.
  8. Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into 2-inch squares.
  9. Place the squares on an ungreased baking sheet.
  10. Prick each square 2 or 3 times with the tines of a fork.
  11. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the crackers over after 10 minutes.
  12. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
