Homemade crackers

I found this yummy recipe in an old Mary Jane Farms Magazine and had to try it. I have never made crackers before so this was a major adventure! Kyla and Isaac loved to help pour in the ingredients. Kyla was also my cracker cutter. :) I think they turned out pretty tasty!

YUM!

Here's the recipe: Makes about 3-5 dozen depending on size

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup oil( i used Olive oil, the recipe said they used grapeseed)
1/2 cup water
1 medium egg
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sesame seeds(toasted) I did not have any, nor did I want them. Tasted fine without!

Preheat oven 350 degrees.
lightly grease cookie sheet

Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. slowly add oil, mix til looks like coarse crumbs. Slowly add water until dough forms ( I didn't use a full 1/2 cup)
Turn dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out very thin.
Mix egg sugar and vinegar.
Now I cut out my crackers and brushed the egg mixture on top of each.
Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Store crackers in an air tight container. IF they pick up moisture you can put them in a 250 degree oven for a few minutes!
