Roll out each part as thin as required. (Use flour if necessary to aid in rolling out, I did not need it)
Place the rolled out dough on the lined tray and gently score lines or use a cookie cutter to score shapes on the dough.
Place in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 mins until slightly brown.
Remove and cool thoroughly and break the crackers on the scored lines and store in an air tight container.
Proceed with the balance of the dough in the same manner.
Notes
You can substitute clarified butter with oil entirely.
You can substitute semolina flour (fine rava ) with spelt flour of equal quantity or all purpose flour
Baking times will vary depending upon the thickness of the rolled out dough, so do keep an eye on the crackers from about the 10 minute point itself.
