  Categories: Crackers
       Yield: 50 Servings
  
       1 c  Corn flour
       1 c  All-purpose flour
     1/4 c  Whole millet
     1/2 ts Salt
       2 tb Sugar
     1/4 c  Vegetable shortening
     1/2 c  Milk
  
   "Corn flour provides an extra special sweetness for these crackers.
   Millet gives them their incomparable texture. Corn-Millet Circles are
   great with sharp Cheddar cheese or a rich pate. 325~F. 25 to 30
   minutes Preheat the oven to 325~F.
   
   Mix the flours, millet, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl or
   in the food processor. Cut in the shortening until the mixture
   resembles coarse meal. Slowly blend in enough of the milk 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 out to 1/8-inch thickness.
   
   Using a 2-inch round cookie-cutter or the rim of a small glass, cut
   out circular crackers. Place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Prick
   each in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork.
   
   Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned, turning the
   crackers over half-way through. Cool on a rack. Yield: 40-50.
