Flax Seed Crackers - YUM! (different recipe than the one posted a few weeks ago)

The dough
The crackers before they are baked

The finished product. I cut them in different sizes (regular size for adults and smaller ones for my daughter). You can see you dont need to have perfect square shapes.

1/4 C flax seed
1/4 C ground flax seed
1 1/2 C wheat flour (or all purpose flour)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp margarine or butter, softened
1/2 C skim milk
In a bowl of a stand up mixer, add flax seed, ground flax,flour, baking powder, salt and margarine or butter. Mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal. (or you can do this by hand with a pastry blender).
Stir in milk and mix until mixture forms a soft dough (can do this by hand as well)
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes
Divide dough into quarters. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out very thin to a rectangle 2mm (1/16 inch) thick. Cut into 6cm (2 1/2) squares
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet
Repeat with remainder of the dough
Preheat oven to 325
Bake 20 minutes until crisp and golden
Variation:I added 1 tbsp of parmesan cheese and 1 tsp italian seasonings to the dry ingredients
