Corn Flour Ghost Crackers and other Halloween Snacks

I made ghost crackers, because Alison posted a link about Halloween food.




Ingredients:


1 cup corn flour (masa harina, NOT corn meal)
1/6 cup corn flour, 1/6 cup parmesan or cheddar cheese shreds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
14 tablespoons water (7 ounces)
1 egg
1/3 cup corn oil
Coarse sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the the corn flour, cheeses, salt, baking powder, sugar and pepper together. 
  4. In another bowl, whisk the water, egg and oil together. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and whisk until well combined.
  5. Drop a small cookie scoop of batter (about 1 tablespoon) onto the prepared baking sheets, about 3 inches apart. Spread the batter into oval shapes. Poke holes for eyes and a mouth.
  6. Sprinkle with salt and bake until the edges are browned and the crackers are crisp, about 18 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and keep in an airtight container for up to three days.

My Notes:

I made some marbled hard boiled (hard boil eggs, cool. Tap shell all around to crack, but do not peel. Let soak in 1 cup or so of water with a couple of drops of food color for a couple of hours for intense colors. Slice open, make 'spoiled' deviled eggs (I used a wasabi instead of mustard, and some green food coloring)
