The Real Reason We Love These Crackers
We didn’t set out to become cracker connoisseurs. But somewhere between “what can we set out for Ladies Night?” and “oh no, I forgot I signed up to bring snacks,” these little lemony legends earned their permanent spot in our rotation.
They’re simple, but they don’t feel basic.
They’re easy, but they taste like a secret recipe.
And they’re ready when you are, which is kind of everything.
What You’ll Need
-
1 full box of saltine crackers (4 sleeves)
-
1 package of Crackalacka Lemon Pi Cracker Seasoning
-
1½ cups of vegetable oil
-
2 one-gallon zip-top bags (we label ours with the date for freezing)
-
A spoon and a 2-cup measuring cup (no fancy tools required)
✨ Optional: smug sense of satisfaction once everyone asks you for the recipe.
Let’s Make Lemon Pi Magic
1. Divide and Conquer
Put 2 sleeves of crackers into each bag. You can use a 2-gallon bag, but who just has those lying around? The 1-gallon version gets it done—and lets you freeze a batch for later.
2. Mix the Magic
In your measuring cup, combine the seasoning with 1½ cups of oil. It’s heavy on powdered sugar, so stir gently. Mix until smooth. (A spoon works just fine—no whisk or mixer needed.)
3. Coat the Crackers
Split the liquid gold evenly between the two bags. Eyeball it. Then zip the bags most of the way shut, squeeze out extra air, and gently flip + zhuzh until everything’s coated.
💡 Wait… what’s zhuzh?
It’s one of Lindsey’s favorite words—something she’s said forever (possibly picked up from Queer Eye circa early 2000s). In the world of FEAST, zhuzhing means giving something just a little extra love—whether it's fluffing a throw pillow, fixing your hair, or getting those crackers evenly coated and cute enough to serve. It’s part styling, part sass, and always worth the effort.
4. Let Them Soak
Lay the bags flat. Flip every few minutes for the first 30, then just whenever you remember. You can even leave them overnight—no babysitting needed.
5. Serve or Freeze
Eat one, freeze one. They thaw in about an hour and still taste fresh, crisp, and delightful. Yes, we’ve served you a frozen one in-store before. No, you didn’t notice. 😉
Why This Recipe Just Works
Because it’s not just about crackers.
It’s about showing up with something special when life is already full.
It’s about having a go-to that feels homemade, even when you whipped it up during nap-time or between carpools.
It’s about making snack duty look like a breeze (and secretly feeling proud of yourself).
These crackers are more than a treat—they’re a confidence boost in a bag.
