Notes
Cook's Notes:
Dough should be soft but not stick to your fingers. If dough is too wet, work in flour 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time. If dough is too dry, add buttermilk 1 Tbsp (15 mL) at a time.
Crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Variation:
Add 2 tsp (10 mL) finely chopped fresh rosemary and 1 tsp (5 mL) black pepper. Brown flaxseed may be substituted for golden flaxseed.
