Recipe - Oat Bran Squares

1 One half cup Oat bran
One half cup Allpurpose flour
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Baking soda
4 tablespoon (One fourth stick) butter or
Margarine, softened
1 teaspoon Honey
One fourth cup Hot water

"Oat bran is a good source of fiber. These crackers are not only healthy,
they also taste good. They are worthy of a large glass of freshlysqueezed
orange juice.

325~ F 18 to 22 minutes Preheat the oven to 325~ F.

Combine the oat bran, flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl or in
the food processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse
meal.

Dissolve the honey in the hot water and blend it into the flour mixture. If
the dough is too wet for rolling, quickly add a little more flour.

Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
pastry cloth, roll to about 1/8 inch. With a sharp knife, cut the dough
into 2inch squares. Place them on a lightly greased or parchmentlined
baking sheet. Prick each square in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until medium brown. Cool on a rack. Yield:
5055.

VARIATIONS: Substitute wheat bran for oat bran. For a more delicate
cracker, roll the dough thinner and reduce the baking time to compensate.
