My project this morning was homemade walnut crackers.
I googled and started with this recipe and made a few changes Walnut Crackers 3/4 c crushed walnuts (I did this step with the mortal&pestal 1/2 cup oat flour (if you don't have any, you can put oatmeal into blender until powdery) 1/2 cup white flour 1 t baking powder 1/2 t salt Mix dry ingredients. Then mix in the wet ingredients: 1/4 cup water 1/4 cup olive oil I found the dough to be pretty soft, so added a few more teaspoons of flour. I separated the dough into two balls. Took one ball, and rolled in out between two sheets of parchment paper. Cut a few circles and stripes and transfer to a baking sheet. Cooked at 425 for around 20 minutes. Keep an eye. The texture is pretty sandy, a bit delicate but very tasty. Would be nice with a soft cheese. Level of difficulty: 1/5 Cost: I don't really know as i had all the ingredients. Let's say $5 Lessons Learned: 1.Main lesson is that the dough can only be as thin as the largest piece of walnut. In other words, crush the walnuts into pretty small pieces. Otherwise you can't roll the dough thin enough. 2.The original recipe said 1/4 t of salt but i thought it needs more hence the 1/2 t above. 3.You could add some dry thyme, fennel for extra flavour!
