Time 32m

Yield 160 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons crushed black peppercorns
5 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1 large egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon cold water

Steps:

  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl (or the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade). Stir in pepper. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg with the mustard and water. Add to flour mixture and stir or process until dough forms a ball.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Use interesting cutters to cut out crackers. (Or cut into diamonds.) Arrange 1/4-inch apart on greased baking sheets.
  • Bake one sheet at a time at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden. Cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
