Basil Crackers

Basil Crackers

2 C flour

1 T sugar

1 t salt

2 T fresh basil

1/8 C butter

½ C milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor.

Pulse to mix.

Add butter and basil.

Blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add milk and blend.

Ideally the dough will form a ball; mine did not.

Roll out dough on floured surface until 1/8 inch thick.

Cut out crackers and place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake 13 minutes.

Store in airtight container

Cookbook also says to prick the crackers with a fork before baking and to brush the surface with milk and sprinkle with additional salt before baking. I’ll do that next time.
