Whole Wheat Sesame Seed Crackers
¾ cup whole wheat flour
¾ cup all purpose flour
1½ tsp sugar
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup non-fat buttermilk (place ½ tablespoon lemon juice in measuring cup and top to half with skim milk; stir, and let stand 5 minutes then stir again.)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp olive oil or melted margarine
Fresh ground pepper
Sea salt
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Heat oven to 350°
Mix flours, sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in buttermilk and 2 tablespoons oil. Shape dough into six balls. Roll each ball into a 9-inch square on lightly floured cloth-covered surface. (Wrapping a cotton dish towel around a cutting board works well).
Cut into 2¼ inch squares; (a pizza cutter is perfect for the job); brush lightly with margarine or olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt, fresh ground pepper and sesame seeds.
Bake 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
Yield 48 crackers.
Try using cookie cutters to cut out squares for festive gatherings. Or for a sweet cracker, change to sesame seeds, sea salt and pepper to a combination of cinnamon and sugar.
