      Title: SUCCOTASH SNACKS
  Categories: Crackers
       Yield: 55 Servings
  
       1 c  Lima bean flour (available
            At health food or specialty
            Stores)
       1 c  All-purpose flour
     1/2 c  Corn meal
     1/4 ts Salt
     1/2 ts Sugar
     1/3 c  Vegetable shortening
     2/3 c  Water
  
   "Lima beans and corn are a traditional combination which works very
   well in these crispy thin crackers. Served with a hearty bowl of
   soup, they are a lunch in themselves. 325~F. 25 to 30 minutes Preheat
   the oven to 325~F.
   
   Stir together the flours, corn meal, salt, and sugar in a large bowl
   or in the food processor. Cut in the shortening until the mixture
   resembles coarse meal.
   
   Blend in enough of the water to form a dough that will hold together
   in a cohesive ball. Divide the dough into 2 portions for rolling.
   Roll out to 1/16 to 1/8 inch. Cut into 2-inch shapes and place on an
   ungreased baking sheet. Prick each one 2 or 3 times with the tines of
   a fork.
   
   Bake for 15 minutes. Turn over and continue baking another 10 to 15
   minutes, or until medium brown. Cool on a rack. Yield: 50-55.
   
   VARIATION: For a coarser texture and different taste, try substituting
   whole millet for the corn meal.
