I'm pretty excited to try making pate, but I figured that I should master a grain free cracker recipe, first. Since the little one seems to react to tree nuts and dairy, I decided to try for tree nut free and dairy free crackers. This recipe is seriously the easiest cracker recipe ever, and B ate the whole batch in one sitting (well, I might have snuck one or two)!
I ground up hulled sunflower seeds in my coffee grinder to make a flour. I might try mixing some sesame seeds and flax seeds next time, too.
I mixed a cup of my "flour" in with one egg. I added a few dashes of paprika, but the flavor of the seeds really overpowered the paprika, so I think I'll just skip it next time. My seeds were already salted, but I would probably have added salt if they weren't.
I lined a baking sheet with foil and spooned the batter onto the foil. I then topped the batter with a sheet of wax paper. I rolled the batter as thin as possible with a rolling pin. Then, I removed the wax paper and cut the crackers into squares with a knife.
I then baked at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. At this point, the edges were browning but the crackers were still slightly soft. So, I turned the oven down to 200 degrees and baked for another 5 minutes. They were perfect!
Not beautiful, but tasty.
I think he liked them, too :)
