Recipe - Banana Crackers

2 cup Allpurpose flour
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Baking soda
6 tablespoon (Three fourths stick) butter or
Margarine, softened
2 tablespoon Honey
2 tablespoon Warm water
2/3 cup (1 large) mashed banana

"These flavorful crackers are an obvious choice for a breakfast snack. A
wonderful fruit cobbler crust can be made by finely crumbling these
crackers, moistening them with melted butter, and pressing them into a
baking dish. 350~F. 15 to 20 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F.

Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl or in the food
processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add
the banana and blend well.

In a separate bowl, dissolve the honey in the warm water. Slowly add the
sweetened water to the flourbanana mixture and blend to form a dough that
will hold together in a cohesive ball.

Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
pastry cloth, roll thin, at most 1/8 inch. With a cookie cutter or a small
glass, cut into 2 to 21/2inch circles. Arrange the circles on a lightly
greased or parchmentlined baking sheet.

Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Bake for 15
to 20 minutes, turning over once during baking. These crackers should be
medium brown. Cool on a rack. Yield: 6070.

VARIATION: Substitute 1One half cups rice flour for an equal amount of the
allpurpose flour.
