Perhaps you think there are two basic kinds of store-bought crackers: the ones that are salty and the ones that are buttery. It turns out that now you don’t have to choose. That’s because the latest trend is buttered saltine crackers. For those who have just arrived on the planet, here’s a simple recipe: You buy a box of saltine crackers, open the box, put a few crackers on a plate, get out the butter, spread some butter on each cracker, eat and enjoy. There are things to remember……first, don’t use hard butter — that will cause the crackers to break. You need the butter to be soft enough to spread. Second, if you have a little extra time, you can put the crackers on a baking sheet and stick them in the oven for a couple of minutes to warm them up. You could also try melting the butter a little for the same effect. A final tip is to flip the crackers salt side down on your plate before spreading them with butter. That way, you have salt on one side and butter on the other. Honestly, it makes you wonder how this generation manages to get out of bed without help.
