water to dampen and form a ball. (A food processor does the work in a
jiffy). Leave to swell for ten minutes. Divide the doght and roll
eacxh part to 1/8" thickness; slide onto ungreased cookie sheet,
indent in squares with a pastry wheel or knife. Bake in 350F for
about 1/2 hour but watch that they don't turn brown.
