Paleo Almond Crackers

I found this recipe when I was dying for something to eat my tuna fish with or have some sort of cracker when we first started switching the primal. Here is the blog I found it at :) http://cavemanfood.blogspot.com/2009/04/grain-free-almond-crackers.html

1 cup almond flour
1 egg white
1 pinch salt
*favorite spice of your choice*

Topping:
Sea Salt
Melted Butter


* I usually use Ms. Dash Garlic & Herb with garlic & onion powder. Don't be afraid to put a good amount of spices...you can barley taste them because the almond overtakes it. I usually do 4 dashes of each*
"Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, egg white, and salt until it forms a paste.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make sure you use parchment paper, because if you don't you'll end up chipping your crackers out of the pan. Place the dough in the middle and top with another piece of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin (or any other cylindrical instrument), roll out the dough as thin as you can get it. Try to make it take up the whole cookie sheet if you can. Super thin. I mean it!

Peel off the top layer of paper and score the dough with a knife into whatever size crackers you want. Bake in the 325 oven for 10 minutes and then check on the crackers. You are looking for them to color ever so slightly. A little color means crispy, but a lot of color means burned nut taste, which is no good. If the edges have started to color nicely, remove them to a plate and put the remaining crackers back in the oven. Keep doing this, checking every 5 minutes and removing the golden crackers, until finally they are all baked to perfection."

Once they are done and right out of the oven, I usually spread melted butter on top then sprinkle sea salt. Really makes a difference!
Cool completely and store in an airtight container.


Honey Almond Crackers
just add:
 1 Tbs of honey
1 Tbs of butter
cinnamon*
truvia*


I changed the temperature to 300 since they burn quicker with the honey and butter. I kept them in for about 8 min. Then when they came out of the oven I coated them with cinnamon & truvia*.

*if you like...
