SESAME THINS (CRACKERS)

Makes an excellent accompaniment to hummus or other spread. I just discovered that I love dipping them into garlic/onion flavored cream cheese. I also love them with soups. Sesame oil gives these crackers a strong, nutty taste. If you want a milder cracker, substitute shortening for some of the oil. Yield 6 dozen crackers. (From King Arthur Flour's Baking Companion)

  • Toast the sesame seeds: Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their flavor and aroma.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet prevents the sesame thins from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the sesame thins over medium heat: Medium heat ensures that the sesame thins cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the sesame thins frequently: Flipping the sesame thins frequently prevents them from burning on one side.
