For 0 Persons
Category: Crackers
1 1/2 c Oat bran
1/2 c All-purpose flour
1/4 ts Salt
1/8 ts Baking soda
4 tb (1/4 stick) butter or
Margarine, softened
1 ts Honey
1/4 c Hot water
"Oat bran is a good source of fiber. These crackers are not only healthy,
they also taste good. They are worthy of a large glass of freshly-squeezed
orange juice.
325~ F
18 to 22 minutes Preheat the oven to 325~ F.
Combine the oat bran, flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl or in
the food processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse
meal.
Dissolve the honey in the hot water and blend it into the flour mixture. If
the dough is too wet for rolling, quickly add a little more flour.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
pastry cloth, roll to about 1/8 inch. With a sharp knife, cut the dough
into 2-inch squares. Place them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined
baking sheet. Prick each square in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork.
50-55.
VARIATIONS: Substitute wheat bran for oat bran. For a more delicate
cracker, roll the dough thinner and reduce the baking time to compensate.
