Ingredients

3/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon, vegetable oil
6 3/4 cups all-purpose or whole-wheat flour, plus additional for rolling
1 1/2 cup finely ground pistachio nuts
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons cracked green peppercorns
3 tablespoons grated lemon rind

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two baking sheets with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Set aside. Combine the flour, pistachio nuts, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. Lightly beat the remaining vegetable oil, milk, eggs, green peppercorns and grated lemon rind together.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients together and beat until smooth. Sprinkle a flat surface with flour. Knead the dough until smooth and loose. Cut the dough into 48 balls. Roll out each ball until it is as thin as possible.
Place the crackers on the baking sheets. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from sheet to a rack and cool.
