Super seedy Crackers

Super Seedy Crackers

Super seedy, super easy and super delicious – these are thin crackers that you won’t be able to stop eating. I very recently got this recipe from my mother in law, who is a fabulous cook, and I’ve already made and, I confess eaten, 3 consecutive batches. The ingredients are all good and healthy, which is just as well as with something so dangerously moreish.

The only thing you need to be aware of is that they should be spread very thinly on the baking sheets, otherwise they come out more like oat cakes than crackers which is not necessarily a bad thing. If yours don’t come out crispy, put them back in the oven for a bit longer – even the following day as I did first time round.  Don’t worry if they get slightly brown. They should already be hard and dry when you take them out.

Ingredients

1 cup spelt flour   (120 grams)

1⅓ cups  oats (120 grams)

¾ cup peeled sunflower seeds (100 grams)

½ cup sesame seeds (50 grams)

⅓ cup flax seeds (50 grams)

1 tsp. salt

2 tbsps. olive oil

Approx. 2 cups water (500 ml.), more if necessary

Method

Mix together all dry ingredients

Add the olive oil. Mix.

Stir in water gradually, till the mixture looks like soup.

Spread on baking paper on two baking trays and press down into a very thin layer. As thin as you can, basically.

Bake at 170 degrees C/ 300F  for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and mark into squares for cutting.

Return to the oven for another 45-55 minutes until dry and crisp. They may brown slightly.

Perfect to have on hand at this time of year. Anything you put on them, whether sweet or savoury, works. These would also make a great homemade food gift.
