    This is a very popular crunchy snack in my house - a batch will disappear within ten minutes! I often make a variety of shapes (stars, hearts, sticks - good for dipping).
    Feel free to add any spices you like to the mixture - it only gets better with experimentation! I've even sauted some chopped garlic and added it to the mixture with the spice - especially good with rosemary added.

    5
    Done

    5. Mix in the Egg Yolk With Your Fingers, Working the Mixture to a Dense Dough. You May Need to Add a Splash or Two of Water to Achieve the Correct Consistency - the Mixture Should not Be Sticky, but Should not Leave Crumbs in the Bowl.
