Sift together dry ingredients; add butter and work in with your fingers. Add just enough water to make a dough that's not too sticky. If dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Place dough on lightly floured surface and knead until it has a soft, smooth texture.

Roll dough as thinly as possible using a rolling pin. Poke a few holes in the center of the crackers using a fork so that they will not puff up. Cut into 2" squares and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake until crisp and brown. Dough may be flavored with honey, cinnamon, garlic or onion powder, grated cheese (especially Parmesan or crumbled blue cheese), minced onions, minced sunflower seeds, slivered almonds or other nuts, cracked wheat, poppy or sesame seeds! Nuts and seeds add greatly to the nutritional value of these crackers.
