Method
Preheat oven to 200°c / 400°f / gas mark 6.
Sieve the flours, baking powder and salt together four times.
Rub in the butter with the tips of your fingers to resemble fine breadcrumbs.
Mix in the mixed herbs.
Mix in water to bind.
Roll out quite thinly. (if the pastry is too crumbly roll out on an opened out freezer bag.)
Use a pastry cutter to cut out crackers and place on a greased baking tray.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with salt.
Bring together bits of pastry, roll out and cut out crackers again. Do this until the pastry is used up.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until puffed up and golden.
Use to serve with soup, cheese or with toppings on as a canapé.
