Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pecans, brown sugar, salt, baking powder and onion powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in water until dough holds together.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Divide dough in half.
- Roll out one-half of dough to 1/16-inch-thick rectangle. Transfer dough to ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with one of the topping combinations and press into dough. Cut dough into 1-by-1-1/2-inch rectangles or diamonds. Prick evenly with a fork. Separate crackers a bit for even baking. Repeat with other half of dough.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown. Slide crackers onto a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
