Tips

You may substitute the paprika to large freshly ground black pepper, chili powder, or your favorite herbs and spices.

Note: Gluten-free all-purpose flour blends containing high amounts of cornstarch and/or potato starch will create crisper crackers than those made with lots of tapioca flour. Tapioca lends a chewy texture.

Alllergens will depend up the flour you use.
