Saltine Crackers

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (I used about 2 T. whole wheat flour)
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/8 t. baking soda
  • 2 T. butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup water
  • water for brushing
  • salt for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a food processor, pulse flour, salt, and baking soda to combine. Add melted butter and process until a coarse meal forms. Add water and process until a ball of dough is formed. Turn out on a floured surface and knead lightly if necessary. Roll out on Parchment paper with a rolling pin, rolling as thin as possible. Cut dough into squares with a pizza cutter--about 2x2 inches. Brush lightly with water, sprinkle with salt, and poke each square twice with a fork. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Keep an eye on them as they brown quickly. Store tightly wrapped to maintain crunchiness; you can also re-crisp in a 350 degree F oven for a few minutes.
