Mustard and black pepper in a crisp, delicate cracker. Yum! Serve on their own, or use as a base for salmon and cream cheese. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns |
5 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits |
1 large egg |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon cold water |
Directions:
1. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl (or the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade). Stir in pepper. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg with the mustard and water. Add to flour mixture and stir or process until dough forms a ball.
3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Use interesting cutters to cut out crackers. (Or cut into diamonds.) Arrange 1/4-inch apart on greased baking sheets.
4. Bake one sheet at a time at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden. Cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
