Time 35m

Yield 48 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F.
  • Lightly grease two 17 x 14- inch baking sheets without sides.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with the sugar; add the egg and beat until light.
  • In another bowl, stir the flours together with the baking powder and salt.
  • Add to the creamed mixture along with the milk and mix until the dough is well blended.
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
  • Flatten each half of the dough and place one on each baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle lightly with flour.
  • With a rolling pin, roll the dough out directly on the baking sheet, adding flour as necessary to keep from sticking, until the dough is 12 x 15 inches and about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Pierce all over with a fork.
  • With a straight knife, cut into 2 x 3-inch rectangles, leaving them in place.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until light brown.
  • Remove from the oven and, with a sharp knife, cut the crackers where they were scored to separate, leaving them on the baking sheet.
  • Turn off the oven and return the crackers to the oven to crisp, about 10 minutes.
  • Makes about 48 crackers.
