Spelt Crackers

Super duper easy recipe! A mix of several from online. Here is what we came up with that has ingredients we have on hand...
  As well, spelt having a lower gluten content makes it a healthier grain to consume, we use our farm fresh butter and Himalayan salt. No strange non pronounceable ingredients like store crackers.
  Before I continue let me say, you can roll these out two ways; a bit thicker and cook them for only 12 minutes and end up with a flat bread, or roll them out fairly thin and cook them at least 12 minutes and get more of the 'traditional cracker' that you're used to...
  1 1/4 cups spelt flour
  2T butter (or coconut oil)
  1/2 t  Himalayan or Celtic salt
  flax seed
  Enough water to make the mixture a cohesive ball. If it becomes too wet just add a bit more flour.

 Put the Flour, butter and salt together in a kitchen mixer...once it is all mixed well, add flax seed then begin adding water. Once the mixture is in a ball, take it out.
  Get a flat baking sheet and slightly flour it. Roll the dough onto it, cut out your cracker shapes. The kids insisted on using cookie cutters, I of course cut them out , and the edges to make s perfect square with the institutionally accepted square cracker shapes...I don't know why! LOL!
  We also opted to sprinkle flax seed on top, along with additional salt.
  Bake at 400 for at least 12 minutes. Remember, if you're going for a thin flat bread type, roll it out as  you would a sugar cookie and cook for 12 minutes. If you're going for the 'cracker', roll out a bit thinner than you would a sugar cookie and 12 minutes should still be enough, up to 13 minutes .  It really depends on your oven.
  This is a really healthy cracker!  Were going to play with it again tomorrow and see what we come up with. I loved the flat bread type while the kids liked the 'cracker'. I think they liked their shapes better too:) I think the recipe could easily be adapted to cinnamon and honey for a sweet cracker as well.(the picture taken before baking)
