Recently, a lovely lady I know shared a recipe for Amaranth Crackers on Facebook. I thought it would be a fun venture to bake them. First I had to seek out the seed, which evidentally is easy to grow in Kentucky, but I purchased ours in the bulk section at Whole Foods. I paid under $2 for a ball jars worth, probably around a pound.
First, I followed the directions to the recipe. One part Amaranth to two parts water. Cook it up for at least 20 minutes on medium heat. I actually cooked it a little longer. Then, let it cool. Little Bear and I took a nap to pass the time and rest from our big day. When I woke, Little Bear was still asleep so I sneaked out to the kitchen and patted out the crackers. Unfortunatley, I added a little too much salt. Otherwise they baked up nicely 20 minutes or so later. We will try this again another day. I am glad we tried. Here they are!
