1 1/4 cup whole wheat OR spelt flour (you can even use sprouted flours)
1 1/2 Tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Salt or herbs for topping (optional) [I think that sprinkling salt on top makes them too salty. Rosemary is great. Cinnamon is also good and totally changes this "cracker experience"]
Combine the flour, salt, and paprika. Cut in the butter until it looks like large crumbs, no bigger than a pea. Combine the water, honey and vanilla and add to the dry mixture. Mix well until the dough forms.
I then roll my dough out onto a seasoned pizza stone so it is very thin. If you do not have a pizza stone, you could roll out the dough onto the bottom of a large cookie sheet. Pre-cut the crackers using a sharp knife or pizza cutter into approximately 2" squares. It does not matter that the outside crackers have rough edges -- they still taste great.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes I will cook these until the outside crackers are browning. Remove the pan from the oven, remove the brown crackers and then return the rest to the oven until the rest are barely brown.
These crackers have been very helpful for me whilst being off sugar... :)
