Almond Poppy Crackers With Cottage Cheese And Honey Food

ALMOND FLOUR CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Add almond flour, water, ground flaxseed, and sea salt into a medium sized bowl and stir together until the mixture turns into dough.
• Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and cover with a second piece of parchment.
• Pat it out with your hands and then use a rolling pin to roll out the dough. You'll want the dough to get pretty thin - about an 1/8 of inch thick. Try to keep form the dough into a rectangular shape, but it's okay if it's not perfect.
• Once the dough is rolled out, remove the top sheet of paper and sprinkle a bit of flaked sea salt over the dough. Use your hands to press the salt down to help it stick. This step is optional, but the flaked sea salt makes the crackers really pretty.
• With the top sheet of parchment removed, use a pizza wheel or knife to cut the dough into small squares. I made mine about 1/2 -1 inch. If you want to get fancy you can use a tooth pick to create a little hole in the center of each cracker.
• Carefully transfer crackers (still on parchment paper) to a baking sheet and bake the crackers for 20-25 minutes or until the crackers turn golden brown and crispy. The pieces on the outer edges will get brown faster than the center pieces. You can transfer those that are golden to a cooling rack and put the pan back in the oven to bake the remaining crackers.
• Let the crackers cool completely, either on the baking sheet or on a cooling rack. Enjoy immediately after cooling.
• Place any leftover crackers in an airtight container or bag. Crackers will keep on the counter or in the pantry for about 4-5 days.

SWEET ALMOND CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the crackers in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet so that the baking sheet is completely covered with a solid layer of crackers. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the brown sugar and vanilla. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and boil until it starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately pour the mixture over the crackers in an even layer. Use an offset spatula to spread the mixture all over the crackers. Bake for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the almonds all over, then let cool completely.
• When cool, break apart for a great snack.
