my four year old daughter LOVED these. So did I, for that matter. Laurel in

The Good Goodies by Stan and Floss Dworkin (Rodale, 1974) My comments in
parentheses
3 cups water
1 cup brown rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
Boil the water and add the rice and salt. Bring back to full boil, then cover
and simmer over low flame for 45 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the sesame
seeds. Mash using a potato masher; be pretty vigorous about this.
(I just used leftover brown rice; actually it was some kind of sticky brown
Chinese rice that we cooked with a little white rice; I did not try the standard
brown rice that you get in regular stores. Also, I used a food processor as I
don't have a potato masher.)
When cool enough to handle, form the rice into two flat discs, pressing and
squeezing to get the rice to stick together. Oil two baking sheets generously.
Put one disk in the center of each sheet, then pat and press it into a flat
rectangle, keeping the sides tidy. Cover with a sheet of waxed paper as big as
the baking sheet, and roll with a rolling pin until it is as thin as possible;
patching is quite legal. Remove the waxed paper and cut
the dough into whatever size and shape pleases you.
Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until crisp;
the edges usually lift off the baking sheet at this stage, and when you pull a
piece off, it breaks quite crisply. The crackers will not brown very much.
