Creamy Whole-Wheat Crackers

Recipe Ingredients

• 2.50 c Whole wheat flour
• 1.50 ts Sugar
• 0.50 ts Salt
• 1.00 c Half-and-half or cream

Recipe Directions

• Preheat the oven to 325~ F.


• In a large bowl or in the food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.


• Slowly add the half-and-half or cream and blend to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball.


• Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling.


• On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll thin, at most 1/8 inch.


• The thinner these crackers are, the better.


• Cut out individual 2-inch crackers with a cookie cutter, juice can, or sharp knife and arrange on a lightly greased or parchement-lined baking sheet.


• With the tines of a fork, prick each cracker 2 or 3 times.


• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning over once during baking.


• Cool the crackers on a rack until crisp.


• Yield: 45-50.


• VARIATIONS: To vary the texture, substitute 1/2 cup rolled oats, rye, barley, or wheat for an equal amount of flour.
