Here is a low fat/calorie recipe of the week-Delicious Butter Crackers. These crackers are so rich and flaky with a
delicious buttery taste. These crackers are wonderful for just about any purpose including as plain munchies. One cracker has only 0.6 g of carbs.

Carbs (carbohydrates) per serving (one cracker) 0.6 g of carbs.

Number of Servings: 90 to 95.

Ingredients:

8 Tablespoons butter (1 stick), soft
Four egg yolks
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose wheat (white) flour
1/3 cup vital wheat gluten flour
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
One Teaspoons baking powder
1-cup whole almond meal

Preparation Method:

Prepare the dough first. Once prepared, the dough will need to be refrigerated, so preheat oven to 300ºF or 325ºF shortly before taking dough from fridge. Use two large, nonstick, heavy-gauge metal cookie sheets.

Combine butter and two egg yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat with a flat beater until thick and creamy. Add the remaining yolks and beat some more. Add all the other ingredients, stirring in at low speed or by hand. Refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes or longer, until the dough firms up and can be handled without sticking.

Form balls the size of grapes and put them on a cookie sheet. Allow room for some expansion. Flatten each cracker slightly with your fingertips.

Bake the crackers for 9 to 11 minutes, one cookie sheet at a time. The crackers should be barely golden with a slightly darker edge (avoid having the edges turn too dark). These crackers are great keepers (even at room temperature). They freeze well, too.

If you enjoy them, do write to us. Happy eating!

Yum! They sound tasty and good for you. Almond meal will give a nice nutty flavor.

Just remember don’t eat all of them in the one go. They may be healthy buy every thing in moderation. OK! Smile
