INSTRUCTIONS
"Don't pass over these crackers because they sound unusual. You will
be surprised at how delicious they are. Like garbanzo beans
themselves, these innovative crackers are a healthful, tasty addition
to a fresh green salad. 325~F. 20 to 25 minutes Preheat oven to
325~F. Combine the flours, salt, and sugar in the food processor or in
a large bowl. Cut in the shortening until the mixture is the
consistency of coarse meal. Blend in the water 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,
no more than 1/8 inch thick. Using a rolling pin, spatula, or your
hands, lift the rolled dough onto a large, ungreased baking sheet.
With a sharp knife, score into 2-inch squares without cutting all the
way through the dough. Prick each square 2 or 3 times with the tines
of a fork. Bake for 10 minutes. Glaze with the oil and lightly salt
the tops. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes more, or until golden brown. Cool
on a wire rack. Break into individual crackers when cool. Yield:
60-65. VARIATIONS: Any bean flour can be used. Purchase it at
specialty or health food stores. Lima bean and black-eyed pea flours
work well. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
