A cream cracker is a flat usually square savoury biscuit. It is similar to a matzo but it contains yeast and is typically thicker and approximately 8 cm square. The cream cracker was invented by Joseph Haughton at his home in Dublin Ireland and then manufactured by William Jacob in a small bakery around 1885. The name cream crackers refers to the method in which the mixture is creamed during manufacture.
