Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, combine the flours, chives, salt & pepper. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Slowly blend in the water. Divide the dough into 2 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll out into a thin rectangle 1/16" to 1/8" thick. Sprinkle with salt & paprika & roll over with rolling pin.

Cut into 2" shapes with a sharp knife. Prick each cracker with a fork.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Some crackers will brown more quickly than others, so watch carefully for the last 5 minutes or so.

Cool on a wire rack.

Use as an alternative snack to potato chips.
