cream crackers

Bland savory wafers

Cream crackers are plain, crisp, unsweetened biscuits typically eaten with cheese, butter, or other toppings.

The name refers to the cream of tartar used as a leavening agent, not dairy content.

They're a staple in British and Irish cuisine, often served with soup or as a light snack: a wedge of cheddar on a cream cracker.
