1 pint buttermilk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening, melted
1 teaspoon salt
7/8 teaspoon baking soda
Coarse rye flour
Mix ingredients to make a thick dough and shape into 24 balls, dipping them in flour. Roll out very thin with a special peg rolling pin (a barbed pin which pricks dough as it rolls). Bake
on a cookie sheet in hot oven (425 F.) until browned, about 15 minutes. These are very crisp and tender.

Another Swede....... in Chicago Nov 16, 2005
Would make this again.
My kids loved this. I told them they were Swedish Crackers. The first bite resulted in a "mmmmmmmmmmm" from my eldest and most difficult to please. 5 stars

Would make this again.
These are not cookies. It is a thin bread to be spread with toppings. 5 stars

Would make this again.
The people who would not make this again aren't making it right.
