Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw sesame seed
  • 1/4 cup white rice flour
  • 1/4 cup sweet white sorghum flour
  • 1/4 cup brown rice flour
  • 2 tablespoons potato starch flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
  • 1/2 cup roasted sesame tahini
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower or canola oil
  • 6 tablespoons hot water
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free tamari sauce
  • 1 egg white, beaten

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spread sesame seed in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  • 2
    Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; spray paper with cooking spray (without flour).
  • 3
    In small bowl, mix flours, xanthan gum, salt and baking powder with whisk; set aside. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave tahini, oil and hot water on High 5 seconds; stir with whisk until blended. Add tamari and flour mixture; stir until blended. Reserve 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seed for topping. Stir remaining sesame seed into dough.
  • 4
    Spray hands and rolling pin with cooking spray (without flour). Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using small (about 2-inch) cookie cutters, cut dough into shapes, rerolling dough as necessary. Place crackers on cookie sheet; prick with fork. Brush egg white over tops of crackers; sprinkle with reserved sesame seed.
  • 5
    Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Poking holes through the crackers, called “docking,” is an important step—it makes the crackers crisp. Cooking supply stores sell a tool called a “docker” (also called “dough prickler”), which is a roller made especially to poke holes in crackers and other doughs.
  • tip 2
    Tahini is available in two forms—raw and roasted. Roasted tahini adds a nice flavor to these crackers. You can find it in most grocery stores near the peanut butter.
