Amish Stewed Crackers
"Another simple recipe I am almost embarrassed to post. My Amish mother-in-law passed this on, as my husband was raised with this one. It's STILL a favorite of his today! He prefers his eggs over top the crackers - you can eat it as you wish! This was also a treat served when someone was feeling ill - fairly easy on the stomach."

PA DUTCH RECEIPE This receipe was used when you had a stommy ache. But instead of rites crackers you used saltine crackers and added sugar and cinnamon, no butter. -
This is a very old recipe my mother made this when some one was ill how ever to this day my brother who is 50 years old ask for this when ever he sees me. Believe it or not very tasty. -
My mother would make this for my father a couple times a year. But, she just used hot water. She called it Steamed Crackers. Otherwise, it was the same thing. When he didn't feel well, he'd make himself milk toast. This was on the table with our dinner. I've actually never tried it.

We called this "fried crackers". My grandmother made it with oyster crackers, but my Mom made it with saltines. I still make it from time to time. Such a great comfort food -
My mom always made cracker stew with saltines. We always had it for breakfast food, I have made it for my sons on cool/wet weather mornings, and they love it as much as I did. Great comfort food!!!! I still make it and I actually get cravings for it.

Growing up in Lancaster County Pa. my mom made stewed crackers at my dad's request. We usually had them at suppertime instead of potaoes.. and instead of Ritz or saltines she always used English water crackers. Yummy!!! -
