recipe for flax crackers
- I put up that link over a year ago
- It’s a nice picture.
- The only thing I make in my excaliber dehydrator are flax seed crackers
-
- Right now I am making a full batch. All nine sheets, over 2 quarts of mix
- It’s a lot different than the picture on the web page
- The one on the web page looks like brown and golden flax seeds with pine nuts
- The one I am making now is golden flax seeds, hulled white sesame seeds and pine nuts.
- This time I added honey and ground ginger.
- It really smells good.
- Which really worries me since cooked food smells good as the life leaves it.
- That’s why I am sure to keep the temperature at 85 degrees.
- I figure anything below body temperature has to be ok.
-
- I have the next batch sprouting.
- Its dark brown flax seeds.
- Added to that are ground allspice, nutmeg, and cloves
- Basically the kitchen sink, oh yeah, and a few sticks of cinnamon which I will take out later.
-
- I have figured out a few tricks.
- You have to sprout it long enough to make it edible, which takes over two days.
- But you can't sprout it long enough that it ferments.
- To do that, I put it into the refrigerator every once in a while.
- If you use too much water, the crackers become too thin to remove in one piece.
- the water i use is mountain valley glass bottled water that i alkalize.
- the water is especially important in these recipes since all the water added to the flax are absorbed.
- no rinse. no drain.
-
- ok, one more thing.
- after i first add most of the water and stir the flax seeds.
- i wait till it settles and then use a strainer to scoop out the layer of seeds that stubbornly float on top.
- i don't know if thats best, its just that i used to have problems with flax seed crackers
- (digesting ones)
- but after i soaked them longer and removed the top layers,
- they seem to be much more loving and friendly.
-
- To this next batch of spiced flax seeds, I will add dried blueberries also, etc
- But I should just concentrate on the one I am dehydrating now.
- It's really good and smells the best. (really)
- I am going to bring them to my local health food store for them to taste.
- That’s what I did last night when I went there to buy pignolia nuts and flax seeds and sesame seed and honey.
- I only brought one cookie and he shared it with a customer
- They both said they liked it, which I believed and was happy about
- Then he asked if I was selling them, I smiled and said,
- “you wish”
-
- I don't know what they are like because I haven't eaten any.
- I can't wait to eat this next batch.
- This is so much better than making lists of restaurants I want to die in.
- Today is nine days on just water. Lets see how long this fast lasts.
- I am making a slew of assorted flax seed crackers that will fill an oil barrel
- Flax seed crackers are the only ones I make because they come with glue
- Then you try to add as much other stuff in it that the glue can hold.
-
- You should see and smell and taste these golden flax seed cracker I am making now
- They do look like bird food a little
- I don't know whether to get a bird or learn to fly.
