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.

These crackers are a waste of time. They're not crispy, they're not flavorful, and they're really hard to make. I would not recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crackers turned out really crumbly. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

These crackers are really hard to roll out. I had to use a lot of flour to keep them from sticking to the rolling pin.

I followed the recipe exactly and my crackers turned out too dry. I think I'll add a little more water next time.

These crackers are a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some garlic powder or chili powder next time.

These crackers are a great way to use up leftover flaxseed. I always have some on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses it up.

I wasn't sure how these crackers would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. They're crispy, flavorful, and very addictive.

I love that these crackers are made with whole wheat flour and flaxseed. They're a much healthier alternative to store-bought crackers.

These crackers are so easy to make! I just mixed all the ingredients together and baked them for 20 minutes. They turned out perfectly.

I'm not usually a fan of flaxseed, but I really enjoyed these crackers. They're a great way to get a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids.

I love the flavor of these crackers! The flaxseed gives them a nutty flavor and the onion adds a nice savory touch. They're also very crispy and satisfying.
