do anyone make crackers? or something similar? My two go through a fair amount of cruskits and crackers so I'm starting to wonder whether I could be making them something instead. |

The Destitute Gourmet one is awesome. If you have a pasta machine rolling it through that is faster than using a rolling pin 
ETA copied from another forum: 1 C plain flour (can do half wholemeal / half plain) 1/2 t salt (I used rock salt) 2T butter 2T sesame and / or poppy seeds (I didn't have these, so used a tsp of dried rosemary, which was really tasty with the rock salt) I added a bit of grated parmesan, but this wasn't in the recipe 1/4 C water Mix the flour, salt, butter and seeds in a food processor, or rub in with your fingers. Add water to make a soft dough. Roll out to desired thickness (not too thick) prick with a fork and cut out shapes. Place on a floured tray and bake for 15-25 minutes or until golden at 200 degrees C. -------------

Yum! Thanks Weegee. Will definitely be making that one. I'm so lusting after a pasta maker at the moment! My rolling pin is crappy and there isn't anyone at the moment who I can bribe to do the rolling!! Gosh - I just looked back over the ingredients. There really is no point paying for store bought crackers is there?!? And these sound much yummier anyway. |

Water Crackers
2 cups plain flour 1 tsp salt 2 Tbspn butter or marg warm water Place baking sheet (tray) in oven & preheat to 230deg. Combine flour and salt, rub butter in to flour mix & add water to make a workable dough. Roll out thinly & cut into squares/rounds prick with fork. Place on very hot baking sheet and bake for 3 mins. variations: sprinkle seeds on top, cheese add 50gm of cream cheese while mixing dough. Salt, sprinkle salt on top. Snack Rings 1 sheet frozen pastry 1 clove of garlic poppy seeds. Rub frozen sheet with garlic clove, as sheet becomes soft sprinkle with poppy seeds, and cut into strips 1cm wide & 2 cm long, or cut into rounds with scone cutter, then cut out smaller cutter making a ring.

This is the one I use.
125g flour 3/4t baking powder 1/2t salt 25g very cold butter 1/2c water approx put everything except water into food proceser & add water while mixing till it forms a ball roll out thinly & cut, bake for 10-15mins on 190 till golden color. I roll ours out in the pasta machine. Makes heaps. I also add cheese & seeds for variety. But plain ones are great also. |

| Yum. I finally got round to making Weegees and they are yummy. I'm thinking they might just make a nice Christmas present with yummy cheese and olives or something. |
