Thin and Crispy Spelt Crackers
Source: Jim Long's book Easy Homemade Crackers Using Herbs, page 33 (originally using wheat flour) (Entered by Lee Ruff)These are delicious little crackers that lend well to spelt’s nutty tones. They are great with cheese, dips, or even alone. The thinner you roll them, the crispier they will be. You don’t have to use a food processor as the recipe calls for – I don’t have one… I just use a pastry cutter, but a fork or two butter knives work just as well :)
Serves: The original recipe says 90 crackers, but it really varies with how you cut and roll them... I always get more than that
