Edible Spoon Crackers

HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!

‘The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, ‘It will be happier.’ The best way to predict the future is to create it. There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting’.

You do not find the happy life. You make it. Brion & I have strived hard to do that very thing. We are so grateful for the happiness we have shared in our lives and look for to continuing to ‘live our best lives’.

For some New Year’s treats this year I’ve made some ‘edible spoon’ hors d’oeuvres. Researchers have revealed that approximately 40 billion plastic cutleries are used by North Americans each year! That’s daunting, keeping in mind the ill-effects plastic causes to the environment and our planet at large. So, to further take a step toward preserving the environment, think edible spoons- the new wing of cutlery.

These spoons go with everything from smoked salmon with Boursin cheese to hummus with olives. Simple or sophisticated, these spoons can work like a charm for each of your parties.

Made from corn, parmesan, wasabi, wheat, rice, chocolate, etc., edible spoons work as a great alternative to the plastic or wood-laden spoons. They can be served as part of appetizers, main courses and desserts.

WISHING EVERYONE THE BEST IN THE COMING YEAR & THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST IN FOLLOWING OUR BLOG!

Instructions
Plain Spoons
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll each piecrust & either cut around a spoon or use a spoon shaped cookie cutter. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. If you want your handles to have a curve in them, use a cardboard cylinder from the center of a foil paper roll. Leave the cylinder covered with foil & lay the spoon handles over it so they bake with a curve.
  3. Bake about 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. I made some with long & short handles just for variety in looks.
Cranberry Pepita Spoons
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll each piecrust. Sprinkle one piecrust with pepitas (or pecans) & cranberries; top with remaining piecrust.
  3. Roll into a 14-inch circle, sealing the piecrusts together. Cut into spoon shapes with a spoon cookie cutter or by tracing the outline of a spoon.
  4. Place pastry spoons on the baking sheet. Reroll any leftover scrapes of dough & repeat the procedure.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Assembly
  1. Top each of the two types of edible crackers with fillings of your choice. What ever you would serve on a cracker works!
