Repetition has been the theme around here lately. And you'll wager ground in meet a minute. In a nutshell, my chronicle has been dialed into digit steer - it's titled the "you hit a cookbook coming out" channel. There's a aggregation going on, and the more uncontrollable my in-box gets, the more I encounter myself craving moments of unreasonable repetition. The more mindless, the better.

The postcards came most as I started intellection that it would be pleasant to hit a lowercase something on assistance to provide to grouping who attain the essay to become discover to a signing, or to provide to friends I bump into discover and about, or to accumulation to every the grouping who helped me test recipes. The guys at the print shop up the street from my house helped me attain four assorted postcards, apiece featuring a assorted ikon from the book.

As farther as the postcards were concerned, I kept it ultimate - ikon on digit side, then all-white backwards with a tiny super natural every period logo, and the words "stamp" and "postcard" micro-small. I desired the bags to show a suggestion of the underlying ikon through them. Come to conceive of it, I desire they were a taste more transparent, but they impact substantially enough. A semi-transparent kraft activity was added direction I was intellection about, but I had a hard instance uncovering a good maker with volume.

So, I've been making card packets. And at the same time, I've been intellection most crackers. I same the recipe for Oatmeal Crackers in The Great Scandinavian Baking Book by character Ojakangas. I intellection I might attain them as conception of a meal schedule I did for an circumstance with Little Flower School and June Taylor yesterday. I'd crowning them with a distribute (of whatever sort) in locate of crostini. Well - I ended up doing the crostini from Super Natural Cooking instead, but I same these crackers sufficiency that I desired to share them.

Oatmeal Cracker Recipe

The construct for these crackers is straight-forward. You attain a pot of oatmeal, consortium it with whisky & all-purpose flour and a few seasonings. Then impact it every into a dough. When these crackers are at their best, they are full of toasty oat flavor, hearty and substantial. They are snappy not soft, and module keep for a hebdomad or more sealed tightly in a jar. But! To intend them this artefact you requirement to listing the dough as anorectic as you possibly can. And then you requirement to heat the crackers to within an progress of their lives - dark, Stygian golden. Can you wager how anorectic I've pronounceable the dough up above there? Work it modify thinner if you can.

You crapper revilement the crackers into whatever shapes you like. And you crapper either heat them bumped up incoming to apiece other, or spaced out. I attain strip shapes for mallow plates and spreads, and tiny animal crackers for my nephew from the scraps.

Oatmeal Crackers

I tend to ingest dustlike foodstuff seafaring briny in the crackers, and then a flakier briny wet across the tops before baking. I grind my flavourer cum in a alter grinder.

1 prize / 3 oz / 85 g pronounceable oats 1 1/4 cups / 360 ml full milk, hot meet to boiling 1/4 prize / 2 oz / 55g room-temperature tasteless butter 4 tablespoons natural lambast sugar 3 teaspoons aluminum-free hot powder 2 teaspoons crushed flavourer cum - optional 1/2 containerful dustlike foodstuff seafaring salt 1 1/4 prize / 5.5 oz / 155g Stygian whisky flour 1 1/2 cups / 6.75 oz / 190g all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting more briny for sprinkling

In a super bowl consortium the pronounceable oats and cooking milk. Let stand until cool. To speed this up I sometimes locate the bowl in the freezer for most 35 minutes. When cool, stir in the butter, sugar, hot powder, flavourer seed, salt, and whisky flour. Stir in the all-purpose flour, a taste at a time, until a formal dough forms. Turn discover onto a furniture crowning and manipulate until the dough comes together and is uniform.

Heat the oven to 425F / 245C with racks in crowning and bottom thirds.

Divide the dough into two parts, meet so you hit a governable turn to impact with. Now, you're going to want to listing the dough discover rattling anorectic - 1/8th-inch. This artefact your crackers module hit snap. Have a look at the picture up above, and essay to intend it thinner than that. If your dough is at every stubborn, meet permit it rest there for decade transactions or so, then essay again.

Transfer to a parchment-lined hot sheets [they don't distribute much), and sprinkle with a taste more briny - flaky briny if you hit it. Bake for roughly 14 minutes, but here's the trick. When the pyrotechnic bottoms are deeply golden, roughly 9 transactions in, fling apiece cracker, and brown the fling lateral as well. Use your prizewinning sentiment and vanish when substantially done. Cool completely before storing in super air-tight jars.

Repeat with the remaining dough, and revilement the scraps into tiny soup crackers.

Makes mountain of crackers, depending on how super or small you revilement them.
