2-Seeds Crackers

It's about something that accompanies our cuppa tea at the best! Savory crackers with two of the most flavorful seeds widely used in Indian spices...

• Fennel Seeds
• Sesame Seeds

You know what, even if I make a jar full of these crackers, it hardly lasts for more than 3 days!!! We keep munching them anytime, especially when they are baked :) Yes... I preferred making a baked version rather than deep-frying them! Enjoy these yummy, light and super-aromatic "2-Seeds Crackers" with a cup of tea :)

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup Plain Flour
½ cup Wheat Flour

2 tbsp Butter (Chilled & chopped)

2 tsp Fennel seeds (palm-crushed)

2 tsp Sesame seeds

½ tsp Black Pepper Powder

Salt, to taste

Ice water, as required

Cooking oil spray

METHOD:

- Mix plain flour, wheat flour and butter to form fine crumbles.

- Add fennel seeds, sesame seeds, black pepper powder and salt into it and mix well.

- Knead a medium-soft dough using ice-water.

- Cover it with lid or plastic wrap and keep aside for 10 mins.

- Divide it into 3-4 portions and roll them out with 2 mm thickness.

- Cut them using your favorite cookie-cutter :)

- Arrange all of them on a lined baking tray and bake them for around 15-20 mins till they are crisp in texture and golden-brown in color.

- Cool them to the room temp and store!

SJ's NOTE:

- Reason behind using ice-water for kneading dough is to make these crackers crisp.

- Crushed pepper corns can be used instead of black pepper powder :)

- You can simply put a wax (baking) paper or grease a baking tray to line it!
