Ah crackers...

One of the things I've been seriously missing after going grain free are crackers. There are just times when I want a crunchy, savory snack; crackers were my snack of choice. Today's culinary adventure was the making of grain free crackers. I used almond flour, eggs, some greek yogurt, onion powder and spices. It's a variation of the recipe for onion crackers in the Grain-Free Gourmet cookbook. I used the spices I know I like, and nixed the fresh chopped onion simply because, well... today I felt lazy! Turns out they have that tangy oniony flavor (thanks to the onion powder) that reminds me of sour cream and onion chips. You bake the dough in a loaf pan, let it cool completely, then cut it in half and slice into crackers. Next you have to bake them at a low temp for 2 hours. I tasted a bit of the loaf as I was slicing it into cracker shapes, and the flavor is great. I just hope the texture once they have been crackerized is good.

I'll know soon enough.
