"This is an unbelievably quick fix for a cocktail or soup accompaniment."
Makes 2 approximately 12x8-inch sheets
==========================================================================
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt and pepper.
3. Add the oil and stir until mixture resembles fine meal.
4. With a fork, stir in the cold water, using just enough to make
the dough gather into a ball.
5. Divide the dough in half and, on a well-floured board, roll out each
half as thinly as possible into a rough rectangle that fits on a
baking sheet.
6. Place dough on baking sheet and if you want neat-looking crackers,
score it into squares or diamonds.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes. Dough should be a
pale brown and snap, not bend.
8. Break into crackers or irregular pieces. Can be stored in a tin.
Variations: Instead of black pepper, season with hot red pepper flakes or
any other spice that seems appropriate to the crackers' eventual use. Or,
after the dough has been transferred to a baking sheet, sprinkle with
coarse salt and press lightly into the top.
