Avoid some processed foods and taste some fresh, homemade crackers without all those additives and preservatives. Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1/3 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl.
3. Add brown sugar and butter and cut into flour with pastry blender or 2 knives.
4. Add milk gradually, tossing with fork to moisten evenly. Add a few drops more milk if mix seems dry. It should not stick to the bowl or your hands.
5. Divide dough into 4 pieces and press each into a ball and flatten slightly.
6. Place each cake of dough between 2 pieces of wax paper and roll with rolling pin to about 3/16 inch thickness.
7. Peel off top piece of wax paper and flip dough over onto ungreased cookie or pizza sheet.
8. Cut into squares or any shape you like. A pizza cutter is good for this.
9. Prick all over with a fork, then bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes Watch closely because crackers brown quickly. If the crackers on the outside brown before the center, remove the outer crackers and continue to bake the rest.
10. VARIATIONS: For variety, you can add herbs to the dough, or sprinkle crackers with poppy, caraway or sesame seeds before baking.
