For the second year in a row we made an old fashioned recipe for Cracker Bread on President's Day. We learned about the recipe from Emma's Time for Kids magazine last year and it is said to have been made in George and Martha Washington's kitchen. We were talking to Dave's grandmother on the phone while these were baking and she seemed curious about them, so I thought I would post a picture of the bread as it was coming out of the oven.

It's a super easy recipe: 4 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of butter or margarine, 1 and 1/2 cups of plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix all the ingredients and let the dough rest for 5 minutes. After rolling out the dough, use a fork to poke holes in the top and cut it into desired shapes. Bake on a cookie sheet at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes, then ~ Yum! The little biscuits have been a huge hit with our girls. They eat them with just butter, I like a little strawberry jelly too!
