The Flax Seeds are hardly noticed in the final cracker, and add much needed nutrition to this easy and quick Gluten Free Cracker. This is an unleavened cracker, but you can add a scant teaspoon of baking soda if you prefer a puffier 'soda cracker'.

Step One:

Grind ½ cup blond flax seeds ( for light looking crackers) in a coffee grinder until very fine. Mix with
¾ cup cold water in a sauce pan and gently heat until the mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Takes about 1 minute, mixture does not need to come to a boil. Set aside.

Blend well in a separate bowl 
1 1/4 cup of Astoria Mills Fine Flour Mix #3
1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
1 tablespoon Chick Pea Flour (optional) or a whole grain gf flour like Teff or buckwheat.
1 teaspoon baking soda (optional) You can leave this out for unleavened bread.
2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
2 tablespoons honey
and all of the still slightly warm flax seed mixture. ( about ¾ cup)

Blend well and knead into a ball of dough, place a little Astoria Mills Fine Flour Mix #3
on a counter top and knead to make a dough that you can roll out into a thin sheet. If the mixture is too dry add a tablespoon of water at a time until workable.
Roll the dough out as thinly as you can and then cut into squares, triangles or cut out with rounds or any shape you like. Place crackers on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and prick each cracker 2 or 3 times with a fork, sprinkle with a little salt if desired.

Bake in a pre-heated 350 F oven until crackers are puffy and the edges are nicely browned.

Use as a dip cracker if you like, or just plain. Easy to make in a few minutes and eat warm with a nice cup of tea.
