INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl stir together the Parmesan, the flour, the zest, and 3/4
teaspoon of the pepper and with a pastry blender blend in the butter
until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center,
add the water and the lemon juice, and combine the mixture with fork
until it just forms a dough. On a work surface knead the dough until
it is just combined, transfer it to a sheet of wax paper, and using
the wax paper as a guide form it into an 11- by 1 1/2-inch  squared-off
log. Chill the dough, wrapped in the wax paper, for 1  hour, or until
it is firm enough to slice. (The dough may be made 2  days in advance
and kept wrapped well and chilled.)  Preheat the oven to 375F. Cut the
dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices,  arrange the slices 1 inch apart on
baking sheets, and bake them in  batches in the middle of the oven for
10 minutes, or until they are  golden around the edges. Transfer the
crackers carefully with a  spatula to a rack, let them cool, and
sprinkle them with the  additional pepper.  Makes about 44 crackers.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
