Blueberry Potato Crackers

INGREDIENTS:

For the blueberry juice:

250 grams frozen blueberries

50 grams water

For the dough:

180 grams all-purpose flour

75 grams dehydrated potato flakes

30 grams butter, melted

5 grams salt

180 grams blueberry juice

PROCEDURE:

1. Prepare the blueberry juice by combining frozen blueberries and water in a blender. Puree and strain. Set aside.

2. For the dough, combine all the ingredients and knead them until smooth and well combined. Rest for 30 minutes.

3. Flatten each dough ball with a rolling pin until 1 to 1.5 mm in thickness. Use a pizza cutter to cut into strips or squares. Poke the strips or squares with a fork in the middle to prevent them from puffing.

5. Serve on a graze platter or with a dip.
