As you can tell from my name Crackers are kinda important to me so here is my rundown!

Scan brans from H&B taste like cardboard but I know lots of people that love 'em to death

There are various crackers for 4/5 carbs each in the shops if you look around but not much crunch for the carbs spent

Carblife sells loadsa different ones and I have tried em all - they are all ok and very low carb but not ok enough for the price!!

I tried the cheese version in the micro and they are ok but the best recipe I have tried and the most crunch for your carbs is below:

QUICK N EASY LC CRACKERS

INGREDIENTS

100g ground almonds
2tbs Xanthum Gum
dried herbs - i have used parsely, chives, oregano, basil, rosemary, garlic - all good but different.
salt and pepper to taste.
water
olive oil

CARBS

7 carbs for whole recipe
makes 16 crackers so less than 1 each carb
but I count them as 1 each cos I never quite sure about them dried herbs!

METHOD

mix all dry stuff then add a tbsp oil then mix in the water till you get a paste like texture.
roll into small balls and flatten them quite thinly on to a microwaveable plate/ plastic lid or whatever this bit can be tricky cos its really sticky!
then nuke for about 5 mins till they are crisp may take longer or less depending on micro watt.
leave to go cool - they crispen up more. (is crispen a word? i think not!)

SERVE
with philli cream cheese, pate, boursin, ham, lc jam, lc choc spread etc etc etc and ENJOY

Oooh... good recipe, Crackers! Thanks for sharing that one!

Last night I bought a pack of Carr's Cheese Melts 2.6g per biscuit, they're not very big but they are delicious, one made a tasty bed-time treat with philly and pate.

oh kelly you bhave a steak!!!! Well done

Oooh, I didn't notice - thanks!

just another 496 to go and you can have another lol

I looove the little crackers made by just microwaving little chunks of cheese until they melt and go really crispy - tonight I tried with the pre-packaged cheese slices, chopped in half diagonally and nuked for 1 min 30 - totally different result they puffed up and there was a slightly acidic after-taste, I think I need to try some more (with a topping this time) to see if I actually like them or not!

i,ve tried a few different cheeses but still think parmasan works the best.

could you tell me

What power setting do you do it on, and how many cheese slices do you do at a time.

l tried 1 slice for less than 1 min in my 800w micro and the results are in the bin

Many thanks

Steve

I love the parmesan ones done in the oven but they don't seem as nice in the microwave, the first batch of these cheese slice things puffed right up and were a great texture, like big thick puffy crackers (imagine pork crunch made from cheese!), the second batch were rubbish and stuck to the plate, even the pate and cream cheese I tried on them didn't improve the horrible texture!
