Mmm… Homemade whole-wheat crackers. Perfect for a cold night with some coffee or tea or some hot cocoa. Remember, whole-wheat’s got some natural fibers so it helps aid in digestion too. Here’s the recipe (I just got to love the recipe notecards here at home).

What you need:

• 1 1/2 cups of whole-wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups white flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup wheat germ

What to do:

• Sift the flour (whole-wheat and white), sugar, salt and baking soda together.
• Add in the butter. For a faster mix, you may use a food processor and process until it forms a ball.
• Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
• Cut the dough to 4 parts.
• Grease a cookie sheet and sprinkle with some wheat germ.
• Roll each dough part on the cookie sheet.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Cut into squares (or diamonds) with a pastry wheel.
• Bake at 350* F for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let it cool before storing.
