Barbara's Oat Crackers
Description
Courtesy of Jim LongMy mother-in-law gave me this recipe decades ago, and I’ve made it for parties and events at my house many times. These crackers freeze well if you want to make them in advance—just let them thaw to room temperature and heat slightly before serving.
Ingredients
1 T. sugar
1 t. baking powder
½ t. salt
1 t. fresh thyme leaves (or ½ t. dry)
½ c. butter, softened
2 c. quick rolled oats (or regular rolled oats chopped in a food processor for 30 seconds)
½ c. milk
Methods/steps
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a food processor and blend, then add the oats and milk.
Pulse ingredients to mix again, then roll the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thick, or thinner, and cut into cracker-size pieces. Place on a baking sheet and prick each cracker with a fork several times. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. When cooled, sprinkle with sea salt and store in an airtight container. Makes several dozen crackers, depending on the size of the pieces.
