Crackers - Cracker (English spelling)

Japanese: クラッカー - くらっかー(英語表記)cracker
Crackers - Cracker (English spelling)

A type of biscuit made by mixing flour, fats and oils, salt, yeast, leavening agents, etc., rolling it out thinly and baking it. The word comes from the word crack (to crumble). It has a salty taste and is characterized by a crispy texture when bitten. Yeast fermentation and leavening agents are used to make it rise. A typical soda cracker uses a combination of yeast and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Depending on the secondary ingredients, there are various types such as cheese crackers, graham crackers (whole wheat crackers), and raisin crackers. Crackers are salty and are used as a staple food for portable meals and snacks, as well as for canapes and confectionery ingredients.
