--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1-1/2   c            All-purpose flour
   1-1/2   c            Rolled oats (oatmeal)
     1/2   ts           Salt
   1       tb           Sugar
   6       tb           (3/4 stick) butter or
                        -Margarine, melted and
                        -Cooled
     1/2   c            Milk

  Preheat the oven to 325°F.

  "Crunchy and nutty, these crackers make a
  nutritious snack. Put your feet up after a hard day's work and enjoy a few
  with a glass of fresh lemonade.
  
  325°F 20 to 25 minutes
  
  Stir together the flour, oats, salt, and sugar in a large bowl or in the
  food processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  Blend in enough of the milk to form a dough that will hold together in a
  cohesive ball.
  
  Divid the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured surface or
  pastry cloth, roll as thin as possible, to about 1/16 inch thick. Using a
  spatula, rolling pin, or your hands, transfer the rolled dough gently onto
  a large baking sheet.
  
  With a sharp knife, score the dough into 2-inch squares without cutting all
  the way throug the dough. Prick each square 2 or 3 times with the tines of
  a fork.
  
  Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning over after 15 minutes, until crisp. Cool
  on a rack. Break into individual crackers when cool.

  Yield: 50-60.
