Description

These Celery Seed Circles are a delightful, rustic snack or elegant accompaniment to soups and salads. Made from a simple dough of all-purpose flour, vegetable shortening, and plenty of aromatic celery seeds, they bake into thin, crisp discs that offer a satisfying crunch. The flavor profile is earthy and tangy, with the distinctive pungency of celery providing a sophisticated depth that pairs beautifully with sharp cheeses or smoked meats. Perfect for potlucks, holiday parties, or as a low-calorie alternative to chips, these homemade crackers are easy to prepare using pantry staples. Their simple ingredients allow the unique taste of the seeds to shine through, making them a memorable addition to any charcuterie board or cheese platter.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a large bowl or food processor, combine the flour, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Cut in the vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  4. Gradually add water, starting with about 2/3 cup, mixing until a cohesive dough forms that holds together when pressed.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal portions to make rolling easier.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of the dough out until it is very thin, no more than 1/8 inch thick.
  7. Use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough.
  8. Arrange the circles on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are dry.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
