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