Ingredients

1 1/2	cups	flour, all-purpose
1/2	cup	whole wheat flour
1/2	cup	sugar
1/4	teaspoon	salt
2	tablespoons	butter	or margarine, softened
2/3	cup	milk
1	x	salt	for the tops, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325.

In a large bowl or in the food processor, combine the flours, sugar, and salt.

Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Blend in the milk slowly, using only enough to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball.

Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling.

On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll the crackers thin, 1/16 to 1/8 inch.

If desired, lightly sprinkle the tops with salt and gently roll over the dough with your rolling pin.

With a sharp knife, cut the crackers into 2-inch squares.

Transfer them to an ungreased baking sheet.

Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crackers are lightly browned.

Cool on a rack.

A great experiment and now I can say I made Wheat Thins, but it will probably be the last time. If this was a forgotten item for a party, it would take less time to go back to the store than to make these.

I spotted this recipe in my mom's old Betty Crocker cookbook when I was about 15 years old. I was in Home Ec at the time and this looked spectacular so I made it that Christmas to "show off." It became an instant family Christmas tradition. This beautiful bread looks like it came right out of a picture in a cookbook, even when made by a novice. You'll always get ohhs and ahhs when unveiling it. Perfect as a home-baked gift too.
