World's Best Crackers*
½ dl/50 ml pumpkin seeds
½ dl/50 ml sesame seeds
½ dl/50 ml rolled oats
½ dl/50 ml sunflower seeds
½ dl/50 ml linseeds
1.75 dl/175 ml whole grain rye flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 dl/67 ml oil (to taste, but I'd suggest a neutral one)
1 dl/100 ml cold water
This portion makes one baking tray
Turn on the oven at 200 C.
Mix all the dry ingredients.
Mix in the oil, and then the water (you can easily do this with a spoon).**
Take two sheets of baking paper the size of a baking tray. Spoon out the the mixture on one of them. Place the second sheet on top, and roll it flat and even with a rolling pin. It should be rather thin - 2-3 mm. Last time I made it, it got the size of about 28x40 cm.
Using a dull knife, cut it into appropriate squares (or whatever shape you prefer).
Transfer to a baking tray and bake for at least 15 min. They should be lightly browned and fairly crisp. Cool off enough to handle it, and separate the crackers. Cool off completely before putting them away in a tin.
Variations:
Whole grain wheat will make a nice substitute for whole grain rye, which I know can be hard to get hold off in some places. Do use whole grain flour in any case, for the nicer structure it'll give.
Also, I want to try adding almonds and coconut to make them sweeter. That would be nice with cheese.
*That's what
the recipe was called... but they definitely are great
Light and crispy.
**Baking powder reacts with water, so to get the most out of it, don't let it sit and wait at this stage or you'll get hard, boring crackers.
