Homemade Crackers Plus Happy Valentines Day

Didn't get anything for Valentine:(. Cooked the Hubby a nice meal and now I'm home alone, Monster is in bed talking and singing to himself hopefully will be asleep soon.


Made some Homemade Crackers today while monster was having his nap, they are soft, not sure if thats how they are ment to be or cos I used self-raising flour, I didn't have plain but Monster likes them and that all that matters.   They don't taste to bad.

HOMEMADE CRACKERS

2 Cups plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
25g(1oz) very cold butter
1 Tbsp golden syrup or malt
about 1/2 cup 125ml/4fl oz water

Turn oven on 190*C (375*F). Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
Grate or rub in the cold butter.

Mix the golden syrup or malt with the water. Add, a few drops at a time, to the flour mixture, tossing with a fork at the same time until the mixture is damp enough to form a rollable dough.

Roll out thinly on the floured bench, then cut into rounds or shapes using pastry cutters, or into squares or oblongs with a sharp knife. Prick each biscuit in a few places, and bake for 10-15 mins, or until a pale golden colour.

When cold, store in an airtight container. Serve crackers plain, buttered, or with interesting toppings, depending on occasion.

I got the recipe from Alison Holst The Ultimate Recipe Collection.
