I love going to restaurants, then backwards engineering dishes at home…particularly, salads and Asian cuisine so you will likely spot me in Uwajimaya in Seattle on the weekends. :)

These grown-up saltine crackers will make fine gifts for cheese and wine lovers.

Serves: 48 Save

Ingredients (10)

  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 1 1/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 to 4 tablespoon ice water
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange or lemon rind (optional)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Crunchy, flaky sea salt

Directions

  1. Place almond meal, flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until blended. Add butter and pulse until mixture is grainy. Add rind if using, and pulse again. Turn dough out onto a work surface and shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Remove dough from the refrigerator, place on a lightly floured board and knead until soft. Roll to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Place on prepared pans. Gather up dough scraps and roll out again, cutting out more crackers until all the dough is used.
  4. Use a fork to press holes in the center of each cracker to allow steam to escape from the dough while baking. Beat egg yolk and water together. Brush lightly on crackers. Sprinkle sea salt lightly over all. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Let crackers cool completely before storing.
