These were great. I did change the recipe a little. I was out of whole wheat flour and just used all white flour and I used clabbered milk ( add tbsp vinegar to milk to sour it) in place of the buttermilk. I used a pasta machine on the widest setting to roll it out, and it worked great. My granddaughter made them into shapes using cookie cutters and we gathered up the scraps many times to run through the pasta machine over and over. Just be sure to pat a little flour on the dough before putting into pasta machine, or it gets holes in it. We put made several varieties-poppy seeds , sesame seeds,grated parmesean cheese and some with plain salt. All were good. My grandaughter (8 years old) says they are the greatest. way better than store bought.Her favorite were the parmesean ones, We may try adding the parm to the dough too next time. It is a great snack to make for kids and it is a fun cooking activity for them too.

Deeeeeeliscious!! I made plain salted, garlic, and poppy seed. I actually like the plain ones best. To combat the rolling problem, I put a sheet of tin foil on the bottom with cooking spray and a sheet of wax paper also sprayed on top. I got them way thin and didn't have to wash my rolling pin. Then I just baked them on the tin foil. I suppose you can roll them directly onto the pan. Next time. :)

This cracker has a delicious round flavor and texture. I am super excited finish them off! Thanks, homegirl :-)

These remind me of wheat thins. I added 3 Tbsp of ranch powder and 1 Tbsp of dill for flavor and they were delicious. My son ate them for lunch one day, he didn't want anything else (which may have had more to do with the fact that we cut them into train shapes...) Thank you.

these were great, i spread a thin layer of honey overtop before bakeing and they were perfect. i skipped the seeds and just ate them as it. Much better then buying them, thanks for the recipe
