STOP! Cracker Time!

raving crackers?!

Try these SUPER EASY flax seed crisps and I promise you'll be impressed!



HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

*1 cup Flaxseed Meal

(Golden has the best flavor)

*1 cup Water

*1 1/2 Tbs. seasoning
(I use Popcorn seasoning - It's low carb and comes in a variety of flavors such as Ranch & Garlic Parmesan)

*Parchment Paper

~*~*~*~ STEP 1:~*~*~*~

*Cut two round pieces of parchment paper to fit your microwave's plate (or dinner plate) ~ This way you can work on one batch while the other batch is being nuked!

*Mix your flax seed, water and spices by hand (a fork works best)

~*~*~*~ STEP 2:~*~*~*~

*Using a teaspoon (or mellon-baller if handy), scoop batter onto the parchment paper to match the size of a small walnut.

*Either with your fingers or the back of a spoon, spread the batter blobs (hehe) into flat, thin, pancake like circles (... or heck, try a square!).

!IMPORTANT! Spread the batter so that the cracker will be thin and as consistent as possible! The thinner, the crispier folks!

~*~*~*~ STEP 3:~*~*~*~

*Place parchment paper in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes; continue to cook in 1 minute intervals until crackers are crisp. My microwave takes about 5 minutes total, but always break up the cooking time in 1 minute increments. (Test by tapping a fingernail on each cracker - there should be no "soft spots.")
*Dark speckling will occur if the crackers have been burnt (for shame!). Believe, me - these get super BITTER when even slightly burnt.

ENJOY!

* Try them with dips, spreads, cheese slices or make a few bigger crackers for mini pizzas!

*Since these are mainly fiber, the carb count is virtually a big whoppin' ZERO, however be sure to get in PLENTY of water as too much flax can make for an unhappy GI system. ;) You've been warned!

1 cup of flaxseed = appx. 25 crackers!

*This is a tasty twist to Cleochatra's original recipe here!
