Homemade Wheat Thins Style Crackers
Ingredients:
- 3 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 Tbs honey granules (or sugar)
- 1 Tbs salt
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 sticks cold butter, sliced
- 3/4 cup water
- 3/4 tsp vanilla
- Salt, for topping
Directions:
1. Combine flour, salt, honey granules, and paprika in a medium bowl. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry blender, until small crumbs form. Or, combine the dry ingredients and butter in a food processor bowl and pulse until crumbly.
2. Make a well in the center, and add the water and vanilla. Stir to mix, then use clean hands to knead a few times, just enough to form a ball of dough. (Add just a tad more water, only if needed.) Divide dough into two pieces.
3. Lightly grease two 11″ x 15″ baking sheets and sprinkle lightly with salt.
4.Roll the dough until about 1/4 inch thick on the trays. Sprinkle tops with salt. Cut the dough into square crackers with a pizza cutter.
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 5-10 minutes, until crisp and lightly browned. Crackers will become more crispy as they cool, so don’t over-bake! (Remove edge crackers that are getting too dark if the middle crackers aren’t quite done yet, and continue baking.)
7. Remove baked crackers from sheets and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cool, plain or with dips or and store leftover crackers in a sealed bag or container.
