This post is an oldie but goodie from the archives. I first shared this Keto Crackers with Salt and Pepper recipe in 2014.
Pam Fox says
Was going to feature this recipe on our website but found it never made into a dough? I did use Bobs Almond Meal so will try it again after the suggested almond meal arrives that is recommended by Elana. I do wonder how long you usually pulse in food processor to turn into dough. Also what blade is recommended for food processor.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.
Yours in Health,
Pam Fox
Janice says
it didn’t really look like a dough ball when I pulsed in the food processer, either, more like big crumbs. But I dumped it all out on my parchment lined sheet pan and pressed it all together into a dough ball. It worked just fine.
Nancy says
You might be able to play around and get it to work. If it was too dry or crumbly, an extra egg might have helped. Any time a recipe isn’t sticking together well, I try adding extra egg.
justtryintobehealthy says
Pam, initially the same thing happened to me, but I added another egg and the mixture turned to dough almost immediately. Absolutely delicious!
Erin says
I made these the second this recipe was released. Not only was it a super-fast process, but they ended up being delicious and kept well after a few days. My only suggestion is to be careful with the salt — I used the required sea salt in the recipe and then topped off the crackers with extra salt but found it to be too salty, so just be careful. Might be a good idea to not top the crackers with any salt at all. Overall, amazing recipe <3
Erin says
Also just wanted to add that (before I knew Red Mill Flour wasn’t used on this website) that I used Red Mill Almond Flour for this recipe and the crackers were flawless.
Theresa says
These are super addictive! Very easy to make and since I did not have 2 cups almond flour (only had one cup) I substituted 1 cup ground golden flax seeds. Turned out very good. Can’t wait to try again with all almond flour. Thank you Elena for these great recipes!
Karen Strickholm says
God Bless You, Elana Amsterdam!
I made these crackers, with a last-minute addition of about 2-3 tablespoons of Plugra unsalted (aka “sweet”) butter. I didn’t alter any other aspects of the recipe.
OMG. Can we say croissant-like flaky texture? Sweet buttery flavor? Good alone and good with other stuff? Sooooo good! I salted the top with pink Australian flake salt, and put fresh-ground black pepper, then baked until just barely starting to brown.
Sadly, they were so good that now, they are gone. Next time, it’s a double batch for this paleo home!
PS: Instead of rolling, we rolled some, then used fingers to stretch the dough-paste further out on the cookie sheet so they would be thinner, then rolled the top to make it smooth. These crackers are AMAZING!!! And fyi in case anyone is wondering, they did not stick to the cookie sheet. We cut then before putting in the oven, and then when they came out lifted them up into a kind of loose pile to cool.
Wynne says
Karen Strickholm, of 1/23/14, you mention adding Plugra butter to make a flaky, buttery cracker that’s almost croissant-like. It got me thinking…have you or has anyone else ever tried using your Plugra idea to actually try to make croissants?!?!? From the sounds of it, instead of rolling and cutting into crackers, maybe the dough could be rolled out, cut into long triangles (cut from a rectangle rather than a square), rolled up like the pop-n’-fresh method for “crescent rolls,” and then baked? I haven’t even made these as crackers yet (only just now stumbled upon them today on fb), but in reading Karen’s review, it sounded like it would be worth trying! They could be one awesome GF croissant! Omw, wouldn’t that be amazing if they worked? Can you tell I’m missing croissants since having to go GF?! Someone has to try them and write in – I’m stuck in bed with bronchitis!
Jennifer says
Elana – thank you thank you thank you for your website. I have been using your recipes for a couple of years now and dont know what I would do without you! Until I made these crackers, I was using all your recipes with the exception of a recipe for crackers that I found in a book. They were pretty good, difficult to make and sort of soft, but I thought the best I could get. Until I made these. Wow. These are like actual crunchy crackers (esp. if you bake a bit longer and make them a bit thinner). Even my non-paleo husband wont stay out of them.. and just a few simple ingredients and less than 10 min to make. I adore you!! thanks!!
Stephanie says
Re nut free: I’ve read that ground sunflower seeds make a great replacement for almond flour.
she follows her heart says
I just made them with raw sunflowers! They were every bit as good as the original and also super easy. Loving this simple, satisfying recipe and it’s variations
Deborah says
These are delicious! Very easy to make and the whole family loved them!
Moriah says
I just made these and not only are they sooooo easy to make, they are also super good!! My crew are them all in no time. Thanks for another great recipe!
janie says
how long can these crackers be stored?…and do you have the old tyme recipe for making “Hard Tack” bread/crackers. They were the type that sailors were given years ago.{perhaps during early war times} to eat when they were out at sea. My grandmother made them to soak in soups when I was young child.She kept them long term in a container, but I have no idea how they were made. It has been so many years ago. Thank you for your postings, they are so much appreciated. ..Janie.
Kitty says
Hard tack was made with Wheat flour and water with some salt. the difference between that and these is light years. these crackers have almond in them. which has a lot of fat and could go rancid. wheat has very little. if you can eat wheat, you can make hard tack without even making a recipe, just mix the ingredients til you have a heavy dough, roll out and place on a cookie sheet and score just as she did in the recipe above, bake on low(about 250 til hard, no soft ness but not to brown or burned. then cool break apart and store in a air tight container to prevent bugs. totally unsuitable for a gluten free diet, but if you can eat it, there it is.
criss says
I just made these tonight and they are truly amazing. We are so lucky to have you.
