Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 tb Sesame seeds, toasted
2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 c Oil
1/2 c Water
1 Egg, lightly beaten and
Diluted with 1 to 2 Tb milk
For brushing the tops
"The flavor of sesame comes through very nicely in
these crispy crackers. Try them wih your favorite
chutney or with cream cheese and jam. If you are
feeling extravagant, spread them with sour cream and
caviar. 325 F 20 to 25 minutes Preheat the oven to
325 F. In a food mill or blender, grind the sesame
seeds until coarsely broken. A food processor will not
effectively grind this small quantity. If preferred,
you can leave the seeds whole. In a large bowl or in
the food processor, stir together the flour, seeds,
and salt. Add the oil and blend until the mixture
resembles coarse meal. Blend in enough of the water, a
little at a time, to form a dough that will hold
together in a cohesive ball. If necessary, add up to 1
additional Tablespoon of water. Divide the dough into
2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
pastry cloth, roll to 1/16 inch thick. With a sharp
knife or cookie cutter, cut in desired shapes
approximately 2 inches across. Arrange on an ungreased
baking sheet. Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with
the tines of a fork. Brush the tops lightly with the
egg mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the
crackers are light to medium brown. Cool on a rack.
