In my me...BB, you want I should take pictures, now? In my messy kitchen? That's a little too real. I suppose I could. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday I made corn chowder and a braided egg bread. That would have been fun to photograph because you get to play with the dough. It looks spectacular when it's done, and a lot more complicated than it really is.<BR/><BR/>And yes, Debby, the crackers are easy peasy. You can't get any more basic than flour, water and salt!A Novel Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07525456231177803620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-62683664642500429712009-01-01T18:58:00.000-08:002009-01-01T18:58:00.000-08:00Looks easy enough.Looks easy enough.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-43159804156169310112009-01-01T14:30:00.000-08:002009-01-01T14:30:00.000-08:00Sounds easy and great... but where are your fabulo...Sounds easy and great... but where are your fabulous photos (a la Ree!)

I use them in the crab rolls I made at the camera club party. I just saw them yesterday at Metro Plus in the Pointe Claire Plaza.<BR/><BR/>Now, I suppose you can use regular whole wheat flour instead of spelt, but the recipe here is yummy. Just make sure the crackers are dry and crispy in the middle. Sometimes the middle is chewy if they don't cook long enough. And I use a flaked Cyprus sea salt on mine, but I didn't write that in because it sounds pretentious. Just don't put any oil on them. These are meant to be fat free.A Novel Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07525456231177803620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622500913870267857.post-10196790975807452662009-01-01T12:56:00.000-08:002009-01-01T12:56:00.000-08:00Hey, what a coincidence! I've had Edna Staebler's ...Hey, what a coincidence! I've had Edna Staebler's "Pies and Tarts with Schmecks Appeal" and "Soups and Salads with Schmecks Appeal" cookbooks for YEARS! She likes her neighbour's 'schnitz', dried apples, a LOT! I never knew she made her own crackers though. In fact, that's one item I would NEVER have thought about making myself. Well, until I was introduced to Lesley Stowe's Raincoast Crisps last summer. They make the most wonderful rosemary raisin pecan crackers and cranberry hazelnut crackers, but they're $6.99 a box and that's just WAY too much! So, I'm going to try your recipe and add my own additions. Thanks for sharing it. And p.s. I always toast my sesame seeds before eating. I didn't know you could buy them pre-toasted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
