Kitchen Crackers
These are a special treat from my childhood
and well worth the trouble.
3 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons chilled butter
1 cup milk, ice cold
In the food processor, combine flour 1 teaspoon
salt and pepper; cut in butter through pastry tube; process until it
looks like fine bread crumbs. Slowly add milk and process until dough
pulls away from sides of bole. Dough should be soft and pliable, not
sticky. Divide into three pieces. Dust surface with flour; roll each
piece into a 12x12 rectangle thinner than 1/8 inch. Trim irregular edges
and lift dough onto a cookie sheet. Score the dough into rectangles
2x3 cutting almost through the dough. Sprinkle with kosher salt and
press down. Bake in 425 degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes; remove from
oven and turn over and bake 4-6 minutes. Remove from oven, slide sheet
of crackers onto cooling rack. Break apart when cool and sort in airtight
containers.
