I must have done something wrong because these didn't turn out.The dough was way too wet to roll,even with lots of flour added to the board.I dropped them by teaspoon unto a foiled greased cookie sheet and had a hard time getting them loose.What I did get off the sheet ,had a very good taste.I am sure I must have missed something.

Buttery Banana Salty Goodness!! This is the first time we have ever made crackers and OH MY! My 7 year old son watched a show called Good Eats with Alton Brown in which Alton made homemade crackers. Well, ever since the show my son has been begging me to make our own. This recipe seemed easy and we had all of the ingredients handy. We had a hard time rolling the dough out it stuck to the board which was our fault (not enough flour). Once we figured out a system they turned out perfect. We followed the recipe as stated. Yummy!

Very nice! These are quick to make and an enjoyable flavor combination. I've experimented with different peppers, and decided cayenne is my favorite, but the banana background supports them all well. You can taste the flavor of the pepper, not just the hot. Even with a firm (not overripe) banana, this dough for me is always way too moist to roll out. I've decided that rather than add flour, it works better (and gives a more buttery cracker) to just spread the moist dough with the back of a spoon, being careful to get an even thickness.

Stunningly delicious! I used Franks Hot Sauce instead. Very easy...Yum. Fun to make with kids.

I was more generous with the Tabasco than the recipe asked and found that it was not too hot at all. The salt is needed to balance out the sweetness. Very quick and easy to make.
