Orange-Wheat Crackers

Submitted By: Sandy Colburn

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat or rye flour
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel or more for a stronger orange flavor
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter or margarine
• ½ cup orange juice

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, whole wheat or rye flour, sugar, baking powder, orange peel, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in orange juice slowly while stirring, until mixture is moistened. Form into a ball.
On a well-floured surface, roll dough, half at a time, to 1/16 -inch thickness. Use a floured 2½-inch fluted, round cookie cutter to cut crackers. Prick each several times with a fork. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
