The only thing we really miss when on keto is crackers for all the great dips we can have, so it didn't take us long to find flax seed crackers.
The usual recipe goes something like this:
- 1 cup flax seed meal
- 1/4-1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- salt
- 1 egg
- garlic/powder/onion powder/ cayenne pepper/ whatever floats your boat
- 1/2 cup water
You take the resulting sticky mass and roll it between two sheets of parchment paper in an attempt to get it thin and even. Bake at 350-375 until golden brown then break into pieces.
This method works ok, except I suck at getting it thin and even, resulting in thick, uncooked crackers in the middle and thin, burned crackers on the edge.
I thought if I used silicone muffin tins I could shape them nicely in the bottom and have nice, uniform crackers. Unfortunately it was too sticky to be able to form it well.
After only one pan I got fed up and watered down my mixture to the point where I could almost pour it into the cups, allowing to mixture to flow evenly across the bottom of the cups and making a nice, uniform shape. If I had a convection oven it would be a simple matter to cook them until golden brown, but my gas oven cooks so unevenly the best I could do was cook them until light brown but still soft and put them in my dehydrator for a few hours. The resulting crackers are about the thickness of a Wheat Thin and as uniform as as you could reasonably hope for.
TLDR: Made crackers.
