Recipe Introduction
"This may barely qualify as a recipe. It's not a time-saver, that's for sure, because these take forever to assemble. That doesn't stop my friend Neck-bone Red from dropping me a note to inquire if I am going to be bringing bacon crackers whenever she knows I'll be at a party. I have found in my hours devoted to crafting these irresistible bowtie-shaped snacks that the way to make a bunch of them at a time is to place them on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. The rack keeps the crackers from getting soggy while they bake and are corseted by the bacon."
List of Ingredients
◦ � pound thinly sliced bacon (about 16 slices)
◦ 42 rectangular butter crackers (such as Club or Captain's or Waverly)
Recipe
Heat the oven to 250� F.
Slice the bacon slices into thirds crosswise. Wrap each cracker with a piece of bacon, overlapping as little as possible. Place the wrapped crackers � inch apart on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan.
Bake for 1 � hours or until the bacon constricts the center of each cracker and becomes crisp. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the crackers to cool on the rack.
