Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 lb (8 ounces) blue cheese,
Broken into small pieces

Margarine, softened
2 c All-purpose or rice flour
1/4 c Buckwheat groats or chopped
Toasted nuts of your choice
1/4 ts Pepper
1/4 c Milk

"These "blue chips" are definitely a good investment
that produce profitable returns in the form of
compliments from all who try them. The texture is
light and lacy, and the blue cheese flavor mellows
with baking. Try serving them with a dry white wine.
305~F. 20 to 25 minutes Preheat the oven to 350~F.
Cream the butter and cheese together in the food
processor, or in a large bowl using a pastry blender
or two kinves. In another bowl, stir together the
flour, buckwheat groats or nuts (if desired) and
pepper. Add the flour mixture to the butter-cheese
mixture and blend well.

Blend in the milk, little by little, to form a dough
that will hold together in a cohesive ball. The dough
should be quite stiff. Divide it into 2 equal portions
for rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth,
roll out to about 3/16 inch thick. Cut into 1-1/2-inch
circles and place on an ungreased baking sheet, making
sure the edges do not touch. Prick each cracker in 1
or 2 places with the tines of a fork.

Bake for 15 minutes, turn, and bake for an additional
5 to 10 minutes, or until medium brown. Yield: 130-40.
