Amaranth crackers
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Amaranth crackers are often found on store shelves. You can make them yourself, and in my opinion, the result is much better than dry and brittle store-bought crackers. To make amaranth crackers, we will need amaranth grain or groats. Flour can be made from the groats using a blender. Adding potatoes is optional; however, if you omit them, you'll need to add more water. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
