[recipe] Pepper-Corn Crackers

[Guest guest]

Here is another recipe since i just caught up on another 5 digests

from this group! Yay... finally caught up.

My daughter and i tried these out of a kids cookbook that featured

lunchbox recipes. Very yummy and they do pack well for lunchboxes

or picnic baskets.

 

Pepper-Corn Crackers

 

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3 cups corn flakes cereal

1/4 tsp baking powder

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup magarine

1/2 cup finely diced red pepper

Paprika to sprinkle

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, cereal and baking powder with a

mixing spoon in a bowl. Add the cheese; stir well.

 

2. Cut in the margarine with a pastry blender until the mixture looks crumbly,

with pieces no bigger than the size of a small pea. The mixture should almost

want to stick together.

 

3. Work with your hands until a stiff dough forms. Work in the red pepper.

 

4. Shape the dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls on the ungreased cookie sheet.

Make crisscross pattern with a fork on top of each ball while gently pressing

down. Sprinkle with the paprika. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden

brown. Cool completely.

Yield: about 40 crackers

There is pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is rapture in the lonely shore,

There is society where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but nature more.

~ Lord Byron, poet (1788-1824)
