We’ve been looking forward to this day for months (okay, years) now, so we made a very special snack in honor of our new president. We used this recipe from our friends Alison, Dan, and Meredith over at Alison’s Lunch, changed the recipe a tiny bit to use up what we had on hand, and cut the crackers using two circle-shaped cutters. By the time we got done, these were more like savory cookies. My kids DEVOURED them.
Thank you to Alison for letting us adapt her wonderful recipe. And the warmest welcome to our new First Family and to Mr. Biden.
O Crackers
*1 c. all-purpose flour
*1 c. rye flour
*1 t. salt
*2 T. sugar
*2 t. baking powder
*1 T. black sesame seeds
*1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
*1/2 c. olive oil
*6 T. milk
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Together: Measure the dry ingredients out and place them in a large bowl. Let your mini-chef give them a whisk.
Add the olive oil and the milk and mix with a wooden spoons or your hands till you’re able to form two balls.
Place one of the balls between two non-stick mats or two pieces of parchment, and roll out the dough till it’s very very thin, about 1/8-inch thick. Using two circle cookie cutters, cut out the dough into little “O’s”. It helped us to cut all the O’s that we could fit on the rolled out dough, peel away the extra dough around the O’s, put the cut crackers onto a baking sheet lined with another non-stick mat or parchment, and shape the extra dough into another ball. Repeat doing this till you have no extra dough and proceed with the second ball of dough in the same way.
Big Person: Put the O’s in the oven and bake 6-8 minutes. When they’ve browned a bit around the edges, pull them out and let them cool on a wire rack.
