| Homemade Green Onion Crackers are sure to impress |
The Recipe ReDux has been around for 54 months! To
celebrate, we’re playing a little party game this month: Grab your nearest
cookbook and ReDux the recipe on page 54 or 154.
I chose Mollie Katzen’s Vegetable
Heaven cookbook that I haven’t used in ages, although it has many good
recipes in it. I turned to page 54 and found a recipe for Green Onion Wonton
Strips.

This recipe is for making homemade crackers, not really won tons. The
original recipe had only white flour, scallions, salt, water, vegetable oil and
Chinese sesame oil. I wanted to make them with more fiber so I substituted high
fiber flour from Bob’s Red Mill and I added sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and
dill. I also found that instead of oil in a skillet, they worked just fine
using non-stick spray. I also suggest cutting the green onion pancakes into
squares as well as strips.
You will impress your family and guests this holiday when
you bring out these homemade crackers. They’re perfect served with cheeses,
especially goat cheese, one of my favorites. Your guests will know they’re homemade
as they don’t have perfect edges.
Green
Onion Crackers
Ingredients:
1-1/3
cups high fiber wheat flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
3
medium scallions, finely minced (about 1/3 cup)
1/2
teaspoon salt
1
tablespoon sesame seeds
1
teaspoon poppy seeds
1
teaspoon dill weed
1/2
cup water
Extra
flour for handling dough
Non-stick
cooking spray
1
tablespoon Chinese sesame oil
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine flour, scallions, salt, sesame
seeds, poppy seeds, and dill. Add the water and stir until well combined and
ball is formed. Transfer dough to floured surface and knead a few times, adding
additional flour if needed to keep from sticking. Divide the dough into 6 equal
balls. Roll each ball on floured surface with floured rolling pin until thin,
about 7 inches in diameter. Stack the pancakes on a plate, using flour between
them to keep them separate. Heat a heavy skillet sprayed with non-stick spray over
medium heat. Add pancakes one at a time and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Brush the top side of each pancake with sesame oil. Cut each pancake in half
and then each half into thin strips or squares. Sprinkle with additional salt,
if desired. Let cool at least 10 minutes. Store in airtight container at room
temperature for up to a week.
Makes 6 to 8 servings (about 90 bite-sized crackers).
