Last week was spring break for my 5 year old. He wanted to have crackers for snack so he asked if we could make some. Crackers are quite easy and can be very fun. Together we made rectangles, triangles, and squares. By then he was tired of making crackers so I finished them (and surprised him) with his name made from crackers. It was quite a treat. This recipe came from my friend's food blog Practical Preparedness and Healthy Eating (recipe here)
Wheat Thins
1¼ cups whole wheat flour
1½ Tbsp sugar
½ tsp salt (plus more for dusting top, if desired)
¼ tsp paprika
4 Tbsp butter
¼ cup water
1. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl. Cut in the butter until it is pea sized. Add the water and knead until smooth (I use the KitchenAid for about 5 minutes).
2. Preheat oven to 400°F.
3. Divide the dough into four pieces; keep other pieces covered while working with one. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into square about ⅛” thick. Cut into squares using rotary cutter. Repeat until all dough has been used.
4. Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, if desired (it totally worth it). Bake for about 7-10 minutes or until they start to brown (be careful because they can burn quickly).
