    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2           cups  flour
    1 1/2      teaspoons  cream of tartar
       3/4      teaspoon  salt
       3/4      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/4           cup  oil -- can used grapeseed
       1/2           cup  water
    1             medium  egg
    2          teaspoons  sugar
    1           teaspoon  balsamic vinegar
       1/4           cup  sesame seeds -- toasted

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray or wipe baking sheet with oil.

2. In a medium bowl, combine first four ingredients and mix well.

3. Add oil and stir until mixture resembles coarse meal.

4. Add water and stir until dough forms.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, and vinegar. Set aside.

6. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out very 
thin. Brush with egg mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut, 
tear into strips, or use cookie cutters to make any cracker shape you 
like. Transfer to baking sheet.

7. Bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on size and thickness of 
cracker). Transfer to racks for cooling. Store crackers in an 
airtight container. If they ever pick up moisture and lose their 
crispness, just pop them into a 250F oven for a few minutes.
