CRACKERS
CORIANDER, CUMIN & CARAWAY CRACKERS
Yield: 35-40 crackers
Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/3 cup lowfat milk
• 1 egg white, slightly beaten
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350º.
2. In a large bowl or food processor, combine flour, coriander, cumin, caraway, baking powder and salt. Add butter pieces a little bit at a time until incorporated. Add milk and continue mixing until it forms a doughy consistency. If mixture is too dry, add a tablepoon or more of milk.
3. Transfer dough to a floured surface and flatten slightly with the palm of your hand. Let sit for about 10 minutes to rise then using a floured rolling pin, flatten dough to about 1/8-inch thick.
4. Use a 2-inch diameter rounded or squared cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Place cut-out crackers onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush the surface of each cracker with egg white then prick the surface with a fork and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
5. Use a spatula to remove crackers and cool completely on a rack.
6. Store crackers in an airtight container.
Serving suggestions: Serve crackers with your favorite low-fat dip, with smoked salmon, or break them into smaller pieces, sprinkled over salad.
