Polenta Crackers
"I love these crackers. They're nutty, flavorful, and are a perfect accompaniment to dips and spreads. Also, by simply changing the spices, you can make these to suit your tastes. I really enjoy Mrs. Dashes no salt seasoning blends."

I made these and cooked 35 minutes and the thinest parts were crispy but where it was as thick as they look like the photos they were still moist. So when cold a bit rubbery. Not like a cracker. Am I missing something? I am new to things like this and would welcome any feedback. Should I have cooked longer till dry? Thank you, Roy

These are tasty crackers with a nice flavour and a good texture (mine were still a bit gooey after 40 minutes of baking, but they do have a crunch as well). I subbed regular butter for the soy margarine and used an organic blend of italian herbs and spices, which went really well with the polenta. Thanks a lot for sharing this tasty recipe with us, thedeath458! Made and reviewed for one of my "babies" in Spring PAC 2009.
