Lavender & Peppercorn Crackers

Print Recipe
Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tbsp panela or brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1/2 cup lard
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp water
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh lavender or 1 tsp dried lavender
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black peppercorns

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin

Method
 

  1. Add the flour, panela (or brown sugar), salt, lavender, pepper, and lard to a bowl and mix together. Then add the water and knead to combine until the dough is smooth.
  2. Smush the dough into a rough rectangular shape, then roll out on the parchment paper, with a rolling pin, until it’s about 1/16 inch thick. It’s fine if the edges are a little rough and uneven. 
  3. Gently move the parchment paper onto a large baking sheet. Use a knife to slice the crackers into desired shapes, careful not to cut the paper. Sprinkle with sea salt and gently press the salt into the dough. Use a fork to prick little holes into each cracker.
  4. Bake crackers at 350°F for about 20-25 minutes or until the crackers are lightly browned. 
  5. When crackers have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool. Store them in an air-tight container for a week or so, if they last that long.
