Flax Seed Crackers
¼ cup flax seed
¼ cup ground flax seed
1½ cups all-purpose flour (if on Atkins Induction or OWL, try substituting almond flour, soy flour, protein powder, etc.)
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
4 tsp. butter, softened
½ cup half & half
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a bowl of a stand-up mixer, add flax seed, ground flax, flour, baking powder, salt and butter. With the paddle attachment, mix on low speed until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Stir in milk and mix until mixture forms a soft dough. (You can also mix the dough by hand.) Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into quarters. Turn out onto a lightly floured board. Roll out very thin to a rectangle 2 mm (1/16 inch) thick. Cut into 6 cm (2 ½ inch) squares. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Repeat with the remainder of the dough.
Bake 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
Variations:
Onion: 1 tbsp. powdered onion soup mix.
Cheese: 1 cup grated cheddar cheese.
Italian: 1 tbsp. oregano and 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese.
Yield: 24 crackers
