Savory oat and seed crackers

Appetizers - Savory oat and seed crackers by Anisoara A. - Recipia

Savory oat and seed crackers chill for 30 minutes before rolling, and the dough is rolled out to 3 mm. They take on a little color around the edges in the oven and break easily, with crushed oats and seeds scattered through the dough. I like them with creamy soup, instead of croutons. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 20 minutes. Resting: 30 minutes. Total time: 70 minutes. Servings: 8. Approximately 445 kcal and 9 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 200 g rolled oats
  • 200 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 120 g soft butter
  • 80 g lard
  • 2-3 tablespoons cold milk
  • 80 g seed mix (sunflower pumpkin pine nuts)

Preparation

1. I use a food processor to make the dough. I pulse the oats briefly in the processor bowl. 2. I add the flour, salt and baking powder, then mix with 2-3 short pulses, just until combined. 3. I add the soft butter and lard to the bowl. I process for a few seconds, until the mixture starts to form crumbs. 4. I pour in the cold milk a little at a time, until the dough comes together into a ball. 5. I remove the blades, add the seeds and work them in by hand. You can see them scattered through the dough. 6. I wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it for 30 minutes. 7. I dust the work surface with some of the measured flour and roll the dough out to about 3 mm thick. I cut out the crackers and place them on the large oven tray, lined with baking paper. 8. I bake in a preheated oven at 170-180°C for 15-20 minutes, until the edges take on a little color. 9. I let the crackers cool before serving.

Notes

Once they have cooled completely, put them in a lidded metal tin. If you close it while they are still warm, they will soften from the steam. If you don't have a food processor, grind the oats in a blender, then bring the dough together by hand. Larger flakes leave visible pieces, while fine ones disappear more into the dough. The butter should be soft, not melted. If it has melted, chill the dough for longer before rolling it out. You can replace the seed mix with 80 g sunflower or pumpkin seeds. The dough can also be made a day ahead and wrapped well in the fridge. If it is too firm, leave it on the counter for 5 minutes. Wheat flour contains gluten, and butter is dairy. You can serve them with hard cheese and thin slices of pear.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the lard with butter?

Yes, use 80 g butter instead of the lard. The dough may be a little softer when you roll it out.

What should I do if the dough cracks when I roll it out?

Add 1 teaspoon of cold milk at a time and knead briefly, until it comes together again.

Can I replace some of the flour with whole wheat flour?

Yes, replace 40 g of the white flour with whole wheat flour. The dough will have a coarser texture.

Why did they brown too much underneath?

Place the tray on a higher rack in the oven and check the crackers after 15 minutes.
