From a favorite site called Wild Salmon Kitchen dot com. They call these Ann and Bill's crackers. I just started calling them Classy crackers. These are easy, cheap and quite elegant. I lived very remote for several years in Alaska and you learn to make things that you might be buying. Only to discover you save money and it is enjoyable to create and tastes great.
Ingredients

How to Make Classy Crackers- Easy-Cheap- Elegant
- 1Mix dry ingredients together using the low amount of flour. Add the warm water and cooled butter. Mix with a wooden spoon until dough is too stiff to stir.
- 2Turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth and the surface feels like satin. Add more flour if needed to reach this point.
- 3Spray the inside of a gallon plastic bag with baking spray. Place dough inside and refrigerate over night.
- 4The next day roll out gulf ball size pieces on a floured board. Roll very thin. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds and coarse salt. Roll in to adhere.
- 5Bake each sheet alone on a parchment covered baking sheet until lightly brown and crisp, 10-15 minutes at 350 degree
- 6Note: Can use granulated toasted onion, onion powder, garlic powder and pepper as additives to the dough. All are good.
- 7Store in an air tight 2 1/2 gallon bag for up to 10 days. You will need to break into sizes that will fit in storage.
- 8Serve sheets whole standing upright in a cracker stand.
or use a napkin holder. Cracker holders are easy to make , look at the picture these are in.
