Wine Crackers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil
2 tablespoons pine nuts, finely ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons suavignon wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
coarse sea salt or kosher salt (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325'.
Combine flour, basil and pine nuts (see below for different herb/spice options), salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Combine wine (see below for other options), and olive oil in a seperate bowl. Add wine mixture slowly, to the flour mixture.
Toss with a fork, form into a ball and place on a (lightly) floured surface; the dough will appear dry.
Roll into a thin (1/8\"-1/16\" thick) rectangle, 12\"x9\" and cut into 24 crackers (using a crinkle-cutter gives a neat presentation). Use a fork to prick each cracker several times.
Carefully spread the crackers on an ungreased baking sheet, and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt.
Bake about 18 minutes, or until crackers are firm and just beginning to brown. Allow to completely cool on wire racks.
May be stored for up to a week, in an airtight container.
