3. Combine all ingredients in the mixing bowl, and stir until evenly mixed.
4. Pour batter onto baking baking sheet and spread thinly and evenly (~2 mm).

1. Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, and score to shape the crackers.
2. Return baking sheet to oven and continue baking for about 20 minutes.
3. For a more even bake, turn the sheet around about halfway through.
