  Categories: Crackers
       Yield: 90 Servings
  
   2 1/3 c  All-purpose flour
       2 ts Sugar
   1 1/2 ts Salt
     1/2 ts Black pepper
     1/3 c  Very finely minced onion
       2 ts Dried chives, OR
       2 tb Fresh, finely chopped
            Chives
     1/3 c  Sour cream
  
   "These hearty crackers reflect the clean, clear flavors of sour cream
   and onions. They are impressive, reliable standbys for entertaining
   of all types. 350~F. 20 to 25 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F.
   
   Stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and pepper in the food
   processor or a large bowl. Add the onion and mix well.
   
   In a separate bowl, thoroughly blend the sour cream and egg together.
   Add the sour cream mixture to the flour mixture and blend well to
   form a dough that will hold together in a cohesive ball. If necessary
   to achieve the proper consistency for rolling, add 1 additional
   Tablespoon sour cream.
   
   Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured
   surface or pastry cloth, roll thin, 1/16 inch thick. To make the
   twists, cut the dough into strips 3/4 inch by 6 inches. Twist the
   ends of each strip in opposite directions and press the ends down on
   the baking sheet to keep them from unwinding.
   
   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the twists are lightly browned.
   The ends will be slightly thinner from the pressing and will brown
   first. Cool on a rack. Yield: 85-90.
   
   VARIATIONS: If preferred, these crackers can be baked flat in 2-inch
   squares or circles. Be sure to remember to prick each one 2 or 3
   times with the tines of a fork. Brush the tops with a lightly beaten
   egg, if desired.
