SODA CRACKERS

By Vanetta

Ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 cup butter (or margarine)
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Work the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter or fork. Next, stir the vinegar, baking soda, and salt into the milk, and add this to the butter-flour mixture. Form the dough into a ball. Roll out very thin. Lightly score the dough in the size of the cracker you desire. (I've come up with an easy way to do this. I roll out the dough directly onto a flat baking sheet. Next, placing a ruler on the dough, I perforate the dough along the side of the ruler with a fork. Sometimes I make squares, sometimes diamonds. I think you could cut out the crackers with cookie cutters for special occasions, but you will have a lot of waste unless you gather up the fragments and re-roll and re-cut them.) Now bake the crackers at 375 degrees F for about 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp. The crackers should not get too brown, just a sprinkling of brown on top
