This recipe is built around oyster crackers only. I really hope you use oyster crackers for this recipe, but if you can’t get oyster crackers near you, use saltine crackers. Gently break them into smaller pieces and then mix with the seasoning, bake.
I like to use oil, neutral oil to make ranch oyster crackers. You can also use butter for richer taste, melt butter first, allow to cool slightly and then toss with the seasoning. Remember butter will make crackers clump together when you toss.
