I am in search of the perfect cracker, specifically wheat thins. I love them, but I don't love the price. Where I live they are 2-4 dollars a box! I also am not a fan of things with a long shelf life that contain mystery ingredients and mystery processes. And I just like a challenge. So in the past two weeks I've tried four different recipes. None are as good as the boxed wheat thins nor the recipe that I had tried and lost a few years ago.
I tried two gluten free recipes for Hannah, one that require mostly flax seeds and cheese, which while intriguing wound up tasting like fishes horse biscuits. The other type used sorghum flour and an all-purpose gluten free type, they were had a nutty flavor and good bite when rolled about 1/8th of an inch. Any thinner than that and they didn't have a good bite, but instead feel apart on crumbles.
The wheat thins were flops. Some of the problem was rolling them too thin, but mostly they just lacked the good wheatty flavor and firm texture that I love so much. So I will keep searching and trying and pinning new wheat thin recipes to try till I find the perfect replacement for the box.
