Avandris, I just finished trying the Ritz cracker recipe and it's horrible! It's ok for a cracker, but it's certainly NOT Ritz! Back to the drawing board.

Good to know Belle. Thank you for testing the recipe. I appreciate it.

Thank you Belle! This is the best recipe I've seen. Going to give it a try as soon as I get some cream of tarter. I'm excited, I've never tried to make crackers. I also think I might try those wheat thins.

I've been making my own bread (honey oatmeal) and can't stand the taste of store bought anymore. Plus, I like being able to pronounce the ingredients in my food.

Homemade Wheat Thins

　
1 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter (at room temperature)
2/3 cup milk
salt (or other dried herbs and seasoning) for sprinkling
1. in a large bowl, combine the flours, sugar and salt. cut in the butter and mix until you have a coarse meal.
2. slowly blend in the milk just until you have a dough that will hold together. divide the dough into 2 pieces for rolling.
3. roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. sprinkle with salt and roll over lightly with the rolling pin again. cut the dough into 2×2 inch squares. poke each square several times with a fork.
4. transfer squares to an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 325 F for 20-25 minutes, until crackers are golden brown.


I have made this, as well as my daughter, these are very good. I used all purpose flour and fresh ground hard red wheat, everyone loved them, just another cracker recipe.
