Yesterday’s snack time was pretty interesting.We had few sesame crackers and mixed fruit smoothie.We have a hard core fan of Alton Brown at our house(who else than my DH..LOL). Here are his recipes with slight variation.
Sesame crackers:
Sesame seeds – 1/4 cup
Poppy seeds – 1/4 cup
Wheat flour and all purpose flour ratio = 1:1 (Here I’ve taken 4 oz each)
Olive oil – 2 tbs
Water
Salt – 1 tsp
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Method:
1) Mix all the dry ingredients and whisk them thoroughly.Add olive oil and blend it through out the dough.
2) Add enough water(approx 4 oz) and knead the dough well and let it rest for 10-20 mins.
3) Roll the dough to a thin sheet and cut as per your choice and lay them on the baking sheet.
4) Bake them at 450 F for 3-4 mins on one side and another 2-3 mins on the other side.Let them cool down completely and then you can store them in air-tight container.
Crunchy crackers are ready…
You can consider any berry or fruit for this smoothie.Here i have used mango,peach,strawberry,blueberry and raspberry.Use half cup of milk and half cup of plain yogurt.Blend all these along with half spoon of brown sugar.You may skip the sugar part if you want.Easy and healthy mixed fruit smoothie is ready to serve.
