Cracker Spoons
Cracker Spoons are the perfect edible dipper at a fancy schmancy party, and easy to make, though a little time consuming, OR a jaw-dropping amuse bouche when plated and served prior to a company dinner.

Instructions
Instructions for Cracker Spoons
- Make seasoning salt mixture
- Preheat oven to 400°F; roll one square puff pastry out to 9x9 square keeping second piece refrigerated (each square makes 22 spoons)
- Brush with egg white; sprinkle with seasoning mix (1 teaspoon per sheet)
- Cut dough into shapes using a teaspoon-shaped cutter; place spoons ¼ inch apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets
- Top each with parchment paper; nestle a second baking sheet on top to provide weight on spoons when baking (they will be layered and crunchy, but not puffy)
- Bake at 400° for 8 minutes; remove top pan and covering parchment
- Bake at 400° for 2 more minutes or until lightly browned and crisp; remove to cool on a wire rack
- Freeze in airtight container up to 3 months
!Instructions for Seasoned Salt Mixture
- Combine all ingredients except Hawaiian sea salt; set aside until ready to use
- Sprinkle Hawaiian Sea Salt over cracker spoons just prior to baking
Notes
These freeze beautifully so I make a double batch, or two boxes of Puff Pastry at once which will use the entire Seasoning Salt Mixture.
