Makes 30 dozen crackers

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
4 drops Tabasco sauce
1 ripe banana, mashed
coarse salt

Preheat oven to 450 F and grease a 12x15-inch cookie sheet.

In a medium-size bowl using a pastry blender, mix butter, flour and 1/8 tsp. salt together until crumbly. Using a fork, stir in Tabasco and banana. On a floured surface, knead mixture gently adding a small amount of flour if necessary to make the dough firm. Divide dough into half and roll out one half at a time on a floured surface until thin enough to cover prepared cookie sheet. Place dough on cookie sheet and sprinkle lightly with the coarse salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut through dough into 1" squares.

Bake 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove crackers with a spatula and place on a wire rack to cool. Repeat with second half of the dough.
