Cumin-Caraway Crackers
These crackers are easy enough that the kids can whip them up - and delicious enough that they'll be proud of the results. Do you ever get tired of the boxed, store bought kind? Not bad, usually, but after awhile they all start to taste the same, and there's no escaping the reality that they seem "mass produced." These crackers have a delicate, crisp texture and a light flavor which is punctuated by the caraway. They go perfectly with Cheese or dip
Ingredients:
¾ Cup rye flour
¾ Cup regular flour
1 Tablespoon caraway seed
½ Teaspoon baking powder
½ Teaspoon ground cumin
¼ Teaspoon ground coriander
½ Teaspoon Sea salt
¼ Cup butter
1/3 Cup milk
1 Beaten egg white
Preparation:
Combine the flour, rye flour, caraway seed, baking powder, cumin, coriander,and salt in a food processor.
Add the butter, cover, and process until blended. Add the milk and process until the mixture just forms a dough. If necessary, you may add an additional tablespoon of milk.
Turn the dough out onto a floured board and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Roll out until the dough is about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut into desired shapes, place on an ungreased baking sheet, and brush lightly with egg white. Using the tines of a fork, prick the crackers all over, then bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until crisp.
Cool on wire racks. When completely cool, the crackers may be stored in an airtight container. Makes about 40 crackers.
