Ingredients:
1/2 cupMolasses
3 tbspButter or margarine, cut
Into pieces
1 1/2 cupAll-purpose flour
1 tspPepper
1/4 tspSalt
2 tbspPlain yogurt
Procedures:
1"these extremely thin crackers have an intriguing balance of peppery snap and rich sweetness.
2They are addictive by themselves and make an elegant hors d"oeuvre when spread with herbed cream cheese.
3350°F.
410 to 15 minutes combine the molasses and butter in a small sauce pan.
5Stir over low heat until the butter is melted.
6Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
7In the food processor or a large bowl, combine the flour, pepper, and salt and mix well.
8Stir the yogurt into the molasses mixture and then add to the flour mixture and blend to form a smooth dough.
9Remove the dough to a lightly-floured sheet of wax paper or lightly buttered aluminum foil and shape it into a log or cylinder approximately 1-?inches thick and 12 inches long.
10Roll the log in the wax paper or foil and chill until firm, 45 minutes minimum.
11Preheat the oven to 350°F.
12When ready to bake, slice the log into ?inch slices.
13Roll each slice with a floured rolling pin to form very thin ovals, about 1/16 inch thick.
14The ovals may stick either to your rolling pin or to your rolling surface.
15Gently peel them off.
16Place the ovals on a lightly greased or parchemnt-lined baking sheet and prick each one 2 or 3 times with the tines of a fork.
17Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the crackers are medium brown.
18Those that are rolled slightly thinner than the others will brown first.
19Be ready to remove those from the sheet to cool while the others continue baking.
20Cool on racks.
21The crackers will crispen while cooling.
