kcalIngredients
1/4 cup whole golden flaxseed
1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed (from about 2 tablespoons whole flaxseed)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated onion
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup skim milk
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground flaxseed, whole flaxseed, baking powder, and coarse salt. Add the softened butter, grated onion, and chopped parsley to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
- Incorporate the Milk: Gradually pour in the skim milk while stirring the dough until it comes together. Knead the dough gently to form a smooth, pliable ball.
- Roll the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into desired cracker shapes.
- Prepare the Crackers: Place the crackers onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each cracker lightly with the beaten egg white and season with freshly ground pepper and a pinch of salt, if desired.
- Bake: Bake the crackers for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through to ensure even baking. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
