Banana Crackers

Ingredients

These flavorful crackers are an obvious choice for a breakfast snack. A wonderful fruit cobbler crust can be made by finely crumbling these crackers, moistening them with melted butter, and pressing them into a baking dish. 180ºC . 15 to 20 minutes Preheat the oven to 180ºC . Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl or in the food processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the banana and blend well. In a separate bowl, dissolve the honey in the warm water. Slowly add the sweetened water to the flour-banana mixture and blend to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll thin, at most 0 cm. With a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut into 2to 2- 0.5-inch circles. Arrange the circles on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning over once during baking. These crackers should be medium brown. Cool on a rack. Yield: 60-70. VARIATION: Substitute 1- half cups rice flour for an equal amount of the all-purpose flour.
