 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       c            All purpose flour
    1/3   c            Corn meal
  1       c            Roasted, unsalted peanuts
  1       t            Salt
  1 1/2   ts           Sugar
    3/4   c            Water
  1       c            Peanut butter, crunchy
                       -- smooth

 Preheat oven to 350F.
 In a food processor, combine flour, corn meal, peanuts, salt & sugar &
 pulse until the peanuts are finely chopped.  Alternatively, chop the
 peanuts by hand & mix together with the flour, corn meal, salt &
 sugar.
 In a separate bowl, whisk together the water & peanut butter until
 smooth. Add to the flour mixture & blend to form a cohesive dough.
 Divide dough into 2 equal portions.  Roll out each portion of dough
 on a floured surface into a rectangle, 3/16" to 1/4" thick.  This
 dough is very crumbly, so fix any cracks that occur by pushing the
 dough back together with your fingers.
 Cut the dough into squares (or use a cookie cutter for other shapes)
 about 2" across & place on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Prick each
 cracker with a fork.
 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the crackes are a deep brown.  Cool
 on a rack.  Serve as part of a snack.
