Almond Thins - Page 13

Charski · 10-27-2007, 05:45 PM

Susan, I'm not sure how freezing would affect it, but slicing will most definitely be difficult to do - this needs to be VERY thin to cook to a nice crispy cracker! The thinner you can roll it out, the better the results, IMHO.

The first time I made them I didn't roll them out as thinly as recommended. The second time and successive times, I did. I liked the results MUCH better!

Charski:

Ah! I was wondering why the fine baking minds here at LCF hadn't gone the freeze/slice route with these. Thanks for letting me know!

Susan

Sure, Susan!

You could always TRY it but I think the results won't be what you're looking for unless you have a nice laser slicer! LOL!

It doesn't seem like freezing solid would work, but perhaps half (or less than half) freezing would help, as it does with slicing raw meat thinly.

oops--disregard last post--didn't get the sense of Susan's question.

I didnt roll.. I just plopped them onto a foil lined pan and pressed down on wax paper with my fingers DH said they taste like club crackers

These are great with half flax meal, and easy to make in the microwave, too!

I'm so excited to stumble across this thread! I just got back from my local organic store and they sell almonds for $3.99 per lb. So I bought two.

I'm about to make the original recipe and pair it with artichoke, bacon and spinach dip. These should be wonderful with it. I really am not a fan of bacon puffs (pork rinds) so woohoo!!!

I know I'm talking to myself but that's okay.

My first batch came out of the oven a few minutes ago and they are wonderful.

I'm going to make a triple batch tomorrow as DF likes them as well.

Yummy!!!!

Hey, I'll talk to ya!

I LOVE this recipe. Have used almond, walnut, hazelnut, and pecan meals and all are delicious! I have to watch it because they're SO delicious I could literally eat the whole batch!

I like mine with a schmear of cream cheese and a smoked baby clam or oyster on top....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Oh boy, they are addictive! We ate the whole batch last night. Hence the batch in the oven right now. They smell so good. I'm going to try all the nuts you mentioned. I can't wait!!

That sounds delish!!!

I'm so happy to have a cracker. I'm all giddy!

I made these last night with a bit of a tweek.. I used 1/2 C almond flour, 1/3 C flax meal and 2 T sesame seeds..
added salt, onion powder and garlic powder..
I did it in two batches (I have silpat mats and they are too small for one batch all together).. they were FANTASTIC!!!! I was very suprised.. Patrick was still talking about (and eating) them at 11:30 last night..

They are going to be a regular in my house!

thanks for this wonderful recipe!

To make these really easy, I cover my hand with a plastic sandwich bag and pat out the mixture on a quick release foil sheet. I just keep pushing, patting and squeezing until the entire cookie sheet is full. I bake it whole and then break it up into crackers after it is cool. very easy and much less time. I use quite a bit of sesame seeds in them also.

Ditto.......i just break them up into pieces too.......waaay easier than scoring and breaking into equal bits.

This is my all time favourite LC recipe ..... i ate alot of crackers before LCing and I used to feel deprived when I had to give them up...now I have crackers again for my chicken salad, egg salad, tuna paste, cheese paste...i could go on & on

Oh yea....I make mine with peanut meal....i actually prefer them now than almond meal
