Hi! What are oyster crackers?
Renée says
Hi, Gayle!
As you can see from the photos, they're small saltine crackers that many people put into soup.
You can find them in the cracker aisle where the saltines are.

400 degrees is way to high. Burnt the whole lot before I knew it.
Renée says
So sorry to hear that, Kim.
I know 400-degrees is high, but for only 10 minutes they shouldn't have burned.
🙁

Joan says
These are so yummy... but at 400 for 7 minutes, most were burnt on the bottom side before I could even turn them... I will do them again at 350. And probably use maple syrup instead of honey (just my preference of sweetness)
Renée says
Hi, Joan!
Glad you liked the flavor and I think it's brilliant to use maple syrup next time if that's what you like.
Question for you, do you use a convection oven? I do not so I'm wondering if that may be the cause of the burned bottom.
In any case, turning down the oven is a smart idea if that's what works for you.
Thanks and take care,
Renee
