Oatmeal Butter Crackers

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325℉ (160℃).

Stir together the flour, oats, salt, and sugar in a large bowl or in the food processor.

Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

Blend in enough of the milk to form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball.

Divid the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling.

On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll as thin as possible, to about 1/16 inch thick.

Using a spatula, rolling pin, or your hands, transfer the rolled dough gently onto a large baking sheet.

With a sharp knife, score the dough into 2-inch squares without cutting all the way throug the dough.

Prick each square 2 or 3 times with the tines of a fork.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning over after 15 minutes, until crisp.

Cool on a rack.

Break into individual crackers when cool.
