I decided to post one of my favorite recipes.

     Mom's Oatmeal Crackers

     2 cups quick oats
     1 1/2 cups flour
     1/2 cup margarine
     1/2 tsp salt
     1/2 cup sugar
     1/2 cup water
     vanilla to taste

     Blend the first 5 ingredients like pie crust.
     Add water and vanilla.  
     Roll out with flour on a cookie sheet, about 1/4 inch or less thick.
     Cut outline of crackers.  A good size is about 2x2 inch pieces.
     Bake at 350 until dry crackers.  If the crackers did not break at
     the outline, they should be easy to break at the outline.


I like taking these out backpacking.
