FLAX SEED CRACKERS

I heard that if you mix flax seeds with an equal amount of water, soak them, and spread them thin, you'll get a tasty cracker. I heard right! These have a nutty, earthy flavor. They're light, but still sturdy enough for dips and spreads. Experiment with other seasonings if you like.

Yield Makes about 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup whole golden flaxseed, plus 1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed (from about 2 tablespoons whole)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated onion
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup skim milk
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Put whole and ground flaxseed, flour, baking powder, salt, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 2 minutes. Stir in onion and parsley. With mixer on low speed, pour in milk. Mix until dough just comes together (do not over-mix).
  • Divide dough in half. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface to a 9-inch square (1/8 inch thick). Transfer to two baking sheets. Cut each square with a fluted pastry wheel or a knife into about 30 crackers (each 1 1/2 inches square).
  • Brush with egg white; season with pepper, and salt, if desired. Bake until slightly firm, about 20 minutes. Switch positions of sheets; flip crackers. Bake until light brown and firm, 18 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor for a quick and easy dough: Simply add all the ingredients to the food processor and pulse until the dough comes together. This takes just a few minutes, and there's no need to get your hands dirty.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the crackers tough. Mix it just until it comes together, then form it into a ball and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough thinly: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the crackers will be. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
  • Score the dough before baking: Scoring the dough helps the crackers to rise evenly and prevents them from puffing up. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the dough, about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of the crackers. Keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven when they are golden brown and crispy.

Conclusion:

Flaxseed and onion crackers are a delicious and healthy snack that are easy to make at home. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. These crackers are also low in calories and carbohydrates, making them a good choice for people who are watching their weight. With their nutty flavor and crunchy texture, flaxseed and onion crackers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
