A cream cracker is a flat, usually square, savoury biscuit. The name "cream crackers" refers to the method in which the mixture is creamed during manufacture. The cream cracker is traditionally prepared using fermented dough.[1]
They are made from wheat flour, vegetable oil and yeast, and are commonly served with cheese,[2] corned beef or other savoury topping such as Marmite or Vegemite. They are also eaten with butter or margarine or without accompaniment.
