Soda Crackers
4 cups flour 1 cup butter (or margarine)
3/4 cup milk 1 teaspoon vinegar
4/2 teaspoon baking soda
5/2 teaspoon salt
Work the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or fork.
Next, stir the vinegar, baking soda, and salt into the milk,
and add this to the butter-flour mixture. Form the dough
into a ball. Roll out very thin. Lightly score the dough in
the size of the cracker you desire. (I've come up with an
easy way to do this. I roll out the dough directly onto a
flat baking sheet. Next, placing a ruler on the dough, I
perforate the dough along the side of the ruler with a fork.
Sometimes I make squares, sometimes diamonds. I think you
could cut out the crackers with cookie cutters for special
occasions, but you will have a lot of waste unless you
gather up the fragments and re-roll and re-cut them.)
Now bake the crackers at 375 degrees F for about 10 to 15
minutes or until crisp. The crackers should not get too
brown, just a sprinkling of brown on top.
