I'm collecting cracker recipes to bake this fall & winter... this one comes from Country Living. Makes 36 3-inch triangular crackers or 40 2-inch square crackers. Ingredients:
1/4 cup rolled oats |
1/4 cup natural bran |
1 cup flour |
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces and chilled |
1/3 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
Directions:
1. Make the dough:.
2. Pulse the oats and bran in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade until coarsely ground.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and baking soda and pulse to combine.
4. Add the butter and process until the flour mixture resembles coarse meal.
5. Add the buttermilk and pepper and continue to process until the dough forms a ball on the blade.
6. Divide in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
7. Bake the crackers:.
8. Preheat oven to 350-degrees.
9. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
10. Roll the dough out on lightly floured surface to a 9X9 inch square about 1/4 inch thick.
11. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 3-inch triangles or 2-inch squares.
12. Transfer the crackers to the baking sheet, brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with remaining salt.
13. Repeat with remaining dough and bake crackers until golden brown- about 15 minutes.
14. Transfer the crackers to a wire rack to cool completely and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
