French food Friday - Crackers au parmesan et romarin

 

Yesterday was a busy day for both of us,   we had an address to visit late afternoon which took longer than anticipated and we returned to the house hungry and a little shocked by the state of the house we had visited,

It is rare that I open a bottle of wine to drink rather than cook with but last night was an exception.

I felt like something savoury to accompany the wine  and  all we had was some  commercially made crackers and a bit of cheese. This morning I had a quick search for a savoury cracker recipe and I will be making some of these delicious looking crackers over the weekend.

FOR 20 TO 25 CRACKERS

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, pepper and minced rosemary. Add the butter cut into cubes and the Parmesan. Crumble with your fingertips to sand the dough.
