Notes

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Line Your Pan Well – Always use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure your crackers release easily from the pan.
  • Cool Completely Before Breaking – Let the baked discards cool fully so they crisp up. Breaking it too soon can make the crackers chewy instead of crunchy.
  • Adjust Sweetness to Taste – If you prefer less sweetness, sprinkle lightly with cinnamon sugar. For a dessert-like treat, add an extra layer right after baking while the crackers are still warm.

Make Ahead Tip

You can prepare these crackers in advance by spreading the sourdough discard on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerating (covered) for up to 24 hours before baking. When you’re ready, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake as directed. This is a great way to save time and have a quick snack ready to go!
