Fennel-Scented Flax Crackers Recipe

Fennel-Scented Flax Crackers Recipe

Ingredients

Makes about 2 dozen crackers

• 1/2 cup ground flax seed
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon water

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F
2. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with parchment paper and set aside
3. In a bowl, combine the ground flax seed, flour, about half of the fennel seeds, salt, onion powder and cayenne
4. Stir in the water and mix until a dough is formed
5. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 30 minutes
6. Uncover and knead a few times to make a smooth dough, then turn out onto a floured board and roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness
7. Sprinkle on the remaining fennel seeds and remaining salt and press into the dough with the rolling pin
8. Use a cookie cutter or pastry wheel to cut the dough into cracker-size shapes
9. Arrange the crackers on the prepared baking sheet and bake until crisp and golden, 12 to 15 minutes
10. If you didnt use parchment paper, loosen the crackers from the baking sheet with a metal spatulas soon as they come out of the oven to keep them from crumbling
11. Cool on wire racks for 5 minutes
12. If not using right away, let crackers cool completely on wire racks before storing in a dry place in a tightly closed container, where they will keep for 2 to 3 days
