Flax Seed Crackers with Variations

Add flax seed, ground flax, flour, baking powder, salt and margarine (or butter) to the bowl of a stand-up mixer. With the paddle attachment, mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk and mix until mixture forms a soft dough. You can also mix the dough by hand.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into quarters.  Turn out dough onto a lightly floured board.

Roll out one of the quarters very thinly to 1/16-inch thick. Cut into 2-1/2-inch squares. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet.

Repeat with the other quarters of the dough.

Cheese: add 1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese.

Italian: add 1 tablespoon oregano and 1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese.
