barrys@hercules.UUCP (Barry Steel) (10/07/85)

My wife and I are trying to make enverything we eat from basic ingredients.
So far we have been quite successful.  One thing that seems to be a lost art
is the making of crackers, especially soda crackers. I have not been able to find
any references.

Can anyone help?

The TIME-LIFE Good Cook series has a volume on cookie and 
cracker baking that has almost more recipes and info than 
you can stand(this goes for the whole series).

I'll post a couple if you don't want ot bother with the book.

Try *Better Than Store Bought* by (I think) Colchie and Witte (or
something like that.  It was published several years ago; sounds like
your kind of book.  If you have trouble finding it, send me mail and
I'll bring in the publisher's name and the year.
