Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
1 1/2 c Rolled oats (oatmeal)
1/2 ts Salt
1 tb Sugar
6 tb (3/4 stick) butter or
-Margarine, melted and
-Cooled
1/2 c Milk

Preheat the oven to 325~ F. "Crunchy and nutty, these crackers make a
nutritious snack. Put your feet up after a hard day's work and enjoy a few
with a glass of fresh lemonade.

325~ F 20 to 25 minutes

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. Yield: 50-60.
