 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1-1/2   c            All-purpose flour
  1-1/2   c            Rolled oats (oatmeal)
    1/2   ts           Salt
  1       tb           Sugar
  6       tb           (3/4 stick) butter or
                       -Margarine, melted and
                       -Cooled
    1/2   c            Milk

 Preheat the oven to 325°F.

 "Crunchy and nutty, these crackers make a
 nutritious snack. Put your feet up after a hard day's work and enjoy a few
 with a glass of fresh lemonade.

 325°F 20 to 25 minutes

 Stir together the flour, oats, salt, and sugar in a large bowl or in the
 food processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
 Blend in enough of the milk to form a dough that will hold together in a
 cohesive ball.

 Divid the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
 pastry cloth, roll as thin as possible, to about 1/16 inch thick. Using a
 spatula, rolling pin, or your hands, transfer the rolled dough gently onto
 a large baking sheet.

 With a sharp knife, score the dough into 2-inch squares without cutting all
 the way throug the dough. Prick each square 2 or 3 times with the tines of
 a fork.

 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning over after 15 minutes, until crisp. Cool
 on a rack. Break into individual crackers when cool.

 Yield: 50-60.
