Lemon Parmesan Crackers
Ingredients:

* 4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese
* 2 Tablespoons gluten flour
* 1/2 cup oat flour
* 1/4 cup soy flour
* 1 teaspoon (ish) freshly grated lemon zest
* 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (divided)
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder [optional]
* 1/4 cup cold butter cut into small pieces
* 1 tablespoon water
* 2 teaspoons garlic or onion "juice"
* 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Mix flours well in a separate bowl. Set aside. Whisk together the Parmesan, 3/4 cup "flour", lemon zest, about half of the pepper, and garlic powder. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well and carefully blend in the remaining ingredients, adding more "flour" if necessary until the dough barely forms a ball. Knead the dough on a "floured" surface until it is smooth and even. Form the dough into a 12 inch log and wrap tightly. Chill for several hours.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and heavily grease several baking sheets.

Slice the crackers into 1/4 inch thick slices and place about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining black pepper. Bake for about 9-10 minutes, or until firm and pale golden brown on the edges. Remove from the baking sheet and let cool on a paper towel lined wire rack.

Makes approximately 50 crackers. Less than 1 carb per cracker.
