• ¼ teaspoon onion salt
• 1⁄3; cup vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees F.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients.
3. Add the oil and stir with fork until moistened. Sprinkle the water, a little at a time, stirring until the mixture forms a ball.
4. (For the next step I used a silicon sheet, folded in half).
5. Divide the dough in half and place one half between 2 large sheets waxed paper.
6. Roll the dough until 1/16 inch thick.
7. Remove the top sheet of paper and cut dough into 1- 1/2 inch shapes or rectangles.
8. Repeat with remaining dough.
9. Put the crackers on ungreased baking sheets and prick each cracker 2 or 3 times with a fork. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
10. Cool and serve with whatever takes your fancy!
