 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2  Cup           butter or Margarine -- softened
  2      Cups          All-purpose flour
  1 1/2  Cups          Parmesan cheese -- finely Grated
  1                    Egg yolk
    1/2  Cup           Water

"Parmesan Crackers are great with a cold beer or soda. Once you have
started eating them, it is nearly impossible to stop.

350 F 15 to 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

In a large bowl or in the food processor, cut the butter into the
flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the cheese and egg
yolk and mix well. Add enough of the water to form a dough that will
hold together in a cohesive ball. The texture will be somewhat
crumbly, but the dough will hold together when pressed. Divide the
dough in to 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
pastry cloth, roll each into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut
out individual crackers about 2 inches across with a cookie cuttter
or sharp knife and arrange them on an ungreased baking sheet. Prick
each cracker 2 or 3 times with the tines of a fork. Bake for 10
minutes. Turn the crackers over and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or
until medium brown. Cool the crackers on a rack.

Yield: 40-50.
