- Cracknel Crackers are old fashioned soup crackers.On a clean work surface dusted with flour, pile 6 cups flour and make a well in the center. Break the large eggs and add in to the center of the well along with a pinch of plain salt. Mix the yeast with 1/2 cup warm (105F) water and add in to the well, then using a fork, move the edges of the flour gradually into the center of the well, combining with the liquids in the center of the flour pile. Do not allow the sides to break, or possibly the liquids will pour out onto the work surface. (If this happens, quickly sprinkle with flour and fold in). Mix all ingredients into a ball of dough and gather together loosely and cover with an upside down bowl and all to rest for 60 min.
- After the dough has rested, knead in the remaining flour and cracked pepper (if using). Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4" thickness and cut into 4 inch squares. Fold the four corners of the squares toward the center till they meet, then turn the square over and flatten the top with the rolling pin. Smooth over the edges by patting them down with your fingertips (don't roll them down).
- In a large saucepan, bring water to a simmer. Add in squares, a couple at a time and simmer till they rise to the surface. Remove gently from the water using a slotted spoon. Allow to cool for a short period of time and then drop them into a large bowl of cold water to refrigerate for 30 min. Drain on wire racks and sprinkle with coarse sea salt, as desired.
- Set them on baking sheets and bake in a preheated 325F oven for 10 min or possibly till golden brown.
- These can be made with or possibly without the sea salt and coarsely cracked pepper. An interesting variation is to add in a tbsp or possibly two of powdered chicken bouillon and 1/2 tbsp garlic pwdr to the dough. Another great variation is to add in 1/4 cup powdered white cheddar cheese to make cheese crackers.
