Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 Cup butter or Margarine -- softened
2 Cups All-purpose flour
1 1/2 Cups Parmesan cheese -- finely Grated
1 Egg yolk
1/2 Cup Water

"Parmesan Crackers are great with a cold beer or soda. Once you have started ea
ting them, it is nearly impossible to stop.

350~F. 15 to 20 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F. In a large bowl or in the f
ood processor, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse
meal. Add the cheese and egg yolk and mix well. Add enough of the water to for
m a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball. The texture will be somew
hat crumbly, but the dough will hold together when pressed. Divide the dough in
to 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll eac
h into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out individual crackers about 2 in
ches across with a cookie cuttter or sharp knife and arrange them on an ungreas
ed baking sheet. Prick each cracker 2 or 3 times with the tines of a fork. Bake
for 10 minutes. Turn the crackers over and bake another 5 to 10 minutes, or un
til medium brown. Cool the crackers on a rack. Yield: 40-50.
