Description

These were the canapé at my Paddington Bear afternoon tea and I even 3D doodled my own bear shaped cookie cutters to cut out the crackers.

Instructions

  1. Small 2018 01 22 201450 img 3484

    Whisk together the flour, charcoal, oat bran and sea salt.

  2. Small 2018 01 22 201507 img 3487

    Add the olive oil.

  3. Small 2018 01 22 201510 img 3488

    Mix in the warm water.

  4. Small 2018 01 22 201515 img 3490

    Scoop the dough out onto baking paper.

  5. Small 2018 01 22 201519 img 3491

    Cover with a second sheet of baking paper and roll our flat with a rolling pin.

  6. Small 2018 01 22 201526 img 3494

    Find an appropriate cookie cutter for your crackers. I made my one with a 3D printing pen and will post a tutorial on my profile, if you'd like to try making your own.

  7. Small 2018 01 22 201535 img 3495

    Use your cookie cutter to cut out as many crackers as you can from the dough, or simply score the dough with a knife to cut squares.

  8. Small 2018 01 22 201543 img 3498

    Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

  9. Small 2018 01 22 201551 img 3499

    Place a sliced almond on the tip of each paw to look like claws.

  10. Small 2018 01 22 201557 img 3587

    Bake at 180'C for 20 minutes until they are beginning to brown.

  11. Small 2018 01 22 201603 img 3589

    If any claws fall of your cookies, simply reapply them with a drop of honey.

  12. Small 2018 01 22 201610 img 3629

    When cool, top each of the crackers with a spoonful of cream cheese.

    Top with smoked salmon, a mini pickle, a few capers and a sprinkling of dill.
