Title: Celery seed circles
 Categories: Crackers
      Yield: 50 Servings
 
      3 c  All-purpose flour
  2 1/2 ts Celery seeds
      2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
      3 tb Vegetable shortening
 
         About 2/3 cup water
  
  "Celery seeds are not the seeds of the celery you eat as a vegetable.
  Rather, they are the tangy fruit of a plant related to the parsley
  family. Try them with a cold glass of fruit juice mixed with club
  soda. 350~F. 20 to 25 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F.
  
  Stir together the flour, celery seeds, salt, and pepper in a large
  bowl or in the food processor. Cut in the shortening until the
  mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Add enough of the water to
  form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball.
  
  Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured
  surface or pastry cloth, roll thin, 1/8 inch thick maximum. Cut the
  dough into 2-inch circles with a cookie cutter. Arrange them on
  ungreased baking sheets.
  
  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.
  Yield: 40-50.
  
  VARIATION: Caraway seeds can be substituted for celery seeds. Grind
  the caraway seeds in a food mill before using. The caraway version of
  these crackers is delicious with cream cheese.
