List of Ingredients
2 c All-purpose flour
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb (1/4 stick) butter or Margarine, softened
1 c Milk
Salt for the tops (opt.)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 325~ F.
In a large bowl or in the food processor, combine the
flour and salt. Cut the
butter into the flour until the mixture resembles
coarse meal. Slowly mix in
enough of the milk to form a dough that will hold
together in a cohesive ball.
If necessary, add up to 1 additional tablespoon of
milk. Divide the dough
into 3 equal portions for rolling. On a floured
surface or pastry cloth, roll the
crackers paper thin. They will look almost
translucent. If desired, lightly
sprinkle the tops with salt and gently roll over the
dough with your rolling
pin. With a sharp knife, carefully cut the crackers
into 2-inch squares.
Handling them gently, transfer them to an ungreased
baking sheet.
Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of
a fork.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Cool on a rack. Yield: 95-100.
