Ingredients:

1 cup 1 cup Carb Counters™ All Purpose Low Carb Flour - Economy Size

3 tablespoons Cold water

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°. Coat one side of a piece of plastic wrap at least 14" long with cooking spray.

In medium size bowl place flour and oil or butter. Using a whisk or pastry blender, cut in oil or butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs (1-2 minutes). Sprinkle the water over the mixture. Using a fork, lightly mix the water into the crumbs. Form a dough ball and knead a couple of times until smooth.

Place dough ball on center of a cookie sheet and roll or form dough into an approximately 6" long "log".

Place plastic wrap over the dough ball - sprayed side down - and press (or roll) dough out evenly to form a square 12" x 12" shape.

Bake on center oven rack for 10-12 minutes or just until "lightly" browned. Cool for 5 minutes and cut into 36 - 2" squares. After crackers are cooled completely, store in zip lock bag. Crackers keep fresh for a month. May also be frozen for 2 months. Makes 4 - 2 net carb servings (9 crackers each).
