1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup potato flour
2 tablespoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup water
1 salt for the tops, optional
1 paprika for the top, option
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, chives, salt & pepper. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Slowly blend in the water. Divide the dough into 2 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll out into a thin rectangle 1/16" to 1/8" thick. Sprinkle with salt & paprika & roll over with rolling pin.
Cut into 2" shapes with a sharp knife. Prick each cracker with a fork. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Some crackers will brown more quickly than others, so watch carefully for the last 5 minutes or so. Cool on a wire rack.
Use as an alternative snack to potato chips.
