Black Pepper Crackers

1. 1

   Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl (or the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade). Stir in pepper. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

2. 2

   In another bowl, beat the egg with the mustard and water. Add to flour mixture and stir or process until dough forms a ball.

3. 3

   Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Use interesting cutters to cut out crackers. (Or cut into diamonds.) Arrange 1/4-inch apart on greased baking sheets.

4. 4

   Bake one sheet at a time at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden. Cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
