you were probably wondering how to make RICE CRACKERS at home...

I am nuts about rice.  If you have food allergies, you are nuts about rice.  Apple sauce, bananas and peanut butter too, which I eat by the ton.

The wife was talking about a friend's gluten-free recipe for almond crackers, a paleo-GF type thing that involved, I think, boiling and straining almonds and then....sounded a little complicated.  So I set out to find a rice cracker recipe. OMFG I am glad I did!

People ask if you save money making the effort to bake and cook your own.  Yes.  You do.  Generally more nutritious too, because you control the fats, sugar and salt.  I have no problem buying rice crackers or chips because they are not expensive, but gawdamn, this was FUN, and so EASY.  And the oven was already hot because I made lemon poppyseed muffins (this recipe, but with less sugar and added poppyseeds and no icing) The thrifty and efficient cook always warms the oven once for a bunch of baked goods, right?

Making your own rice crackers is as simple as brown rice flour, water, olive oil, salt, a pinch of sugar, rolling the dough out on a cookie sheet and baking (rice cracker recipe click here).  You figure now you've made it once, next time you will add poppyseeds or sesame seeds or....anything!
