Ingredients

  

• 190 g wheat flour

Notes

If baking for children, leave out the heat - skip the black pepper.

Tips

• For kids: leave out the heat - simply skip the black pepper. If you're baking for yourself, feel free to keep it in.
• Serving: these crackers are delicious with beer, and also with coffee.
• Roll the dough thin, 2-3 mm - that's exactly what makes the crackers truly crunchy.
