     1/2 c  Water

   "The flavor of sesame comes through very nicely in these crispy
   crackers. Try them wih your favorite chutney or with cream cheese and
   jam. If you are feeling extravagant, spread them with sour cream and
   caviar. 325~ F 20 to 25 minutes Preheat the oven to 325~ F. In a food
   mill or blender, grind the sesame seeds until coarsely broken. A food
   processor will not effectively grind this small quantity. If
   preferred, you can leave the seeds whole. In a large bowl or in the
   food processor, stir together the flour, seeds, and salt. Add the oil
   and blend until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Blend in enough of
   the water, a little at a time, to form a dough that will hold
   together in a cohesive ball. If necessary, add up to 1 additional
   Tablespoon of water. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for
   rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll to 1/16 inch
   thick. With a sharp knife or cookie cutter, cut in desired shapes
   approximately 2 inches across. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet.
   Prick each cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Brush
   the tops lightly with the egg mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or
   until the crackers are light to medium brown. Cool on a rack. Yield:
   85-90.
