How to Make Nanny's Oyster Crackers

Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C).
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine all ingredients until a smooth dough forms.
Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer using a spatula or your hands.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Let the crackers cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them into smaller pieces.
Once completely cool, store in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain their crispness.
