65 servings

1 tablespoon Whole mustard seeds
¾ cup Toasted wheat germ
½ teaspoon Salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or
Margarine, softened
½ cup Water

Directions

"This curious combination creates flavorful crackers with a unique texture. As the basis of a light meal, they go well with cream cheese and smoked fish. 350~F. 10 to 15 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F.

In the food processor or in a large bowl, combine the flour, mustard seeds, wheat germ, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in enough of the water 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 out into a rectangle 1/16 inch thick.

With a sharp knife, cut into 2-inch squares or desired shapes.

Transfer them to an ungreased baking sheet. Prick each square 2 or 3 times, with the tines of a fork.

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.

Cool on a rack. Yield: 55-65.
