The photo is my son and myself. Now days you can get a photo made to look old like this one. This photo was taken when this was the new look.

Harry S Truman was president when I was born and world war II had ended. I grew up in a time when lunch was put in a brown paper bag and a sandwich was wrapped with wax paper. There was no such thing as pantyhose, we wore stockings that attached to the rubbery clippy things that attached to the girdle. Convenience stores were not common and when we took a trip we packed a picnic basket because many places did not have fast food. Highways had places to pull over and stop, some with picnic tables.

Gannys salted gluten free crackers

June 1, 2013
Gannys Recipe
 
2 Cups of gluten free all purpose mix
1/2 plus 1/4 teaspoons baking Powder
6 Tablespoons cold Butter cut into small chunks
1 ounce and a splash of any kind of milk
1/2 cup water
Kosher salt to sprinkle over the top before cooking
 
Preheat oven to 375 or less if your oven cooks hot or more if your oven cooks less hot.
 
Mix flour and baking powder into a large bowl then cut or work in the cold butter into the flour until fine and crumbly.  Add milk and water until it forms something that looks like cookie or pastry dough. If it looks too thin add a little more flour.
 
Roll out to very thin using wax paper and then score the dough for cracker shape.  Place this in the refrigerator for a few minutes if it has become too warm to make it easier to remove the crackers from the wax paper.  Place on cookie sheet and prick with a fork then add kosher salt over the top.  Bake for about 15 minutes then flip them over and bake until golden color.  You may have to remove some that are turning golden color and place the other back in the oven until they are all golden.  For me they take about 15 minutes more after turning them over.
 
I have also made them by rolling out the dough on the cookie sheet so I could make them even more thing.  Then I scored them on the cookie sheet.  I baked them for the 15 minutes then took a spatula and removed them broke them apart and flipped them over to bake the remaining time.  This takes a little bit more work but does make a thin cracker.  Either way the most important thing is to get them golden brown to enhance the flavor.
Enjoy!
