     24    Saltine crackers
           -Ice water
      4 tb Butter, melted

           Or coarse (kosher) salt,
           -for topping
 
     Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In one or more shallow pans of ice water,
  float a single layer of saltines until softened but not disintegrated,
  about 20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spatula, letting excess water drain
  off, and arrange in a single layer about 1-1/2 inches apart on greased
  baking sheets.
     Generously brush tops of crackers with melted butter, taking care not to
  press down. Top with a sprinkling of seeds or salt.
     Bake until crackers are puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  
  Serve warm, or let cool on a wire rack and store airtight. If made in
  advance, reheat 3 minutes in a
      400    degree oven until crisp.
