Directions

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until a firm ball is formed.

Knead for 3 minutes, and cover the dough with plastic wrap or damp kitchen towel.

Rest for another 20 minutes.

Divide into 2 portions.

Prepare 2 baking sheets lined with either parchment paper or silicon mats.

On a lightly oiled work surface, roll each piece of dough thinly into a rectangular shape, about 1/16-inch thick.

Using a maple-leave shaped cookie cutter, cut the rolled dough into maple-leave crackers.

Transfer crackers with a spatula onto prepared baking sheets. Keep ¼ inch space.

Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).

Bake for 10 minutes at 350ºF.

Rotate and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the crackers are deeply browned.

Glaze:

Brush with honey-water mixture and sprinkle with kosher salt immediately after removing from the oven.

The crackers will get crisp as they cool.

Storage in a air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
