Cream_cracker

A cream cracker is a flat, usually square savoury biscuit. They are similar to a matzo although typically they are thicker and approximately 8 cm square. They are made from wheat flour and yeast, and are commonly served with cheese or other savoury topping such as Marmite or Vegemite. They are also very good just with butter or margarine or even au naturel. They are highly popular in the United Kingdom. The most famous cream cracker manufacturer is Jacob\'s Bakery Ltd, a subsidiary of United Biscuits. Each Jacob\'s cracker contains 34 kcal.
