"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |

These delicate dark wafers are light, but rich in chocolate taste.
Not too sweet, they are the perfect complement for a dish of French
vanilla ice cream. 325~F. 14 to 18 minutes Preheat the oven to 325~F.
Combine the flour, Ovaltine, cocoa, and salt in a large bowl or in
the food processor. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles
coarse meal.
Blend in the milk to form a dough that will hold together in a
cohesive ball.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured
surface or pastry cloth, roll out to 1/8 inch thick. With a cookie
cutter or the rim of a glass, cut into 2-inch circles. To make oval
shapes, roll over each cracker gently along one axis with your
rolling pin.
Place the crackers on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking
sheet. Prick each one all the way through with the tines of a fork in
2 or 3 places. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes. Cool on a rack. Yield:
75-80.
VARIATIONS: If you are a chocolate lover, double the amount of cocoa.
For fancy occasions, dust the tops of these ovals with powdered
(confectioner's) sugar before serving.
Serves: 80
