Categories: Bakery Cracker
Yield: 65 Crackers

1 1/3	c	All purpose flour
2/3	c	Potato flour
2	tb	Dried chives
1/2	ts	Salt
2	ts	Black pepper, ground
1/2	c	Shortening
1/2	c	Water
		Salt for the tops, optional
		Paprika for the top, option

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, combine the flours, chives, salt & pepper. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Slowly blend in the water. Divide the dough into 2 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll out into a thin rectangle 1/16" to 1/8" thick. Sprinkle with salt & paprika & roll over with rolling pin.

Cut into 2" shapes with a sharp knife. Prick each cracker with a fork. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Some crackers will brown more quickly than others, so watch carefully for the last 5 minutes or so. Cool on a wire rack.

Use as an alternative snack to potato chips.
