How To Make ranch crackers

  • 1
    The easiest method I’ve found to make these crackers are to put the crackers in a gallon size freezer zipper bag.
  • 2
    Pour dressing mix (this can either be an individual package or 3:tablespoons dry mix from the large canister). Add dill weed and shake bag to mix the dry ingredients. Once this is evenly mixed open the baggie and pour the oil in. Zip bag closed and rotate it to combine all.
  • 3
    All the oil won’t be absorbed immediately so continue to rotate every couple of minutes until all the oil is absorbed.

    If you want to experiment you can use any flavor of dry dressing mix. I like to use a spicy mix sometimes. I have also added black pepper or parmesan cheese. Fell fry to experiment. Taste the dry dressing first if you’re going to use a different flavor to be sure you like the taste of it.
