mikroknäckor

mikroknäckor are small, crisp Swedish crackers. The name translates roughly to "micro crackers" or "mini crisps." They are typically made from a simple dough of flour, water, and salt, often with added ingredients like seeds, herbs, or spices to impart different flavors. Their characteristic texture is achieved through a thin baking process, resulting in a very dry and brittle consistency.

These crackers are popular as a snack, often served with cheese, dips, or other spreads. They can also be used as a base for canapés or as a crunchy accompaniment to soups and salads. While traditionally a Swedish item, similar small, crunchy crackers are found in many cuisines worldwide. The appeal of mikroknäckor lies in their simplicity, versatility, and satisfying crunch. Production often involves rolling the dough very thinly before cutting into small, bite-sized pieces and baking until golden and crisp. They are a common pantry staple in many Swedish households and are also available in bakeries and supermarkets. Their minimalist approach to ingredients allows the inherent flavor of the dough and any added seasonings to come through.
