Homemade Crackers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. whole wheat flour (we grind our own flour and for crackers, leave it fairly coarse for texture)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 c. butter
1/2 c. milk
1 large egg

Preparation

Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl.
Cut in the butter until very fine.
Add milk and egg to make a stiff dough and knead thoroughly, about 5 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough until very thin and cut into squares or rounds (whatever shape and size you like) and place on a lightly buttered cookie sheet.
Prick with a fork and bake at 400\u00b0 for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly brown.
You will need to keep an eye on them until you determine the time in your particular oven.
