Hi,
I solicited one of the recipe newsgroups for a cracker recipe that
hopefully I could change.  Here is the original and my version.  The
crackers turned out excellent, (actually beyond my expectations for
an experiment!)

This recipe has been changed to be hopefully gluten  and lactose free.  They
turned out quite good.  How close to the original recipe in texture they
are, I can't say.
 
Original
3       Cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2     Teaspoon salt
1       Cup soft-margarine
1       Cup low-fat cottage cheese
 
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt.  Cut in margarine and cottage cheese
until the mixture forms a dough.  Wrap dough in wax papaer and chill for at
least 1 hour.
Roll out dough 1/8 inch thick in floured surface.  Cut into shapes with a
knife or cookie cutter.  Place on greased baking cheet and pierce with a
fork.  Bake at 450 degrees, 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
 
My Version - Half of the Original recipe - Makes about 40 crackers.
1/2     Cup Sweet rice flour
1/2     Cup Rice Flour
1/2     Cup Tapioca Flour
1/4     Teaspoon salt
1/4     Teaspoon baking soda
2       Tablespoons Onion Powder
1/2     Cup soft margarine
1/2     Cup Lactose free cottage cheese
 
About 3  tablespoons toasted Sesame Seeds
About 2 Tablespoons course salt.
 
Place flours, salt, baking soda, onion powder in a bowl.  Mix well. Add
margarine and cottage cheese.  Using your hand continue mixing until a dough
forms.  Kneed a little.  Place in frig. for about 10 minutes.  Spray grease
cookie sheets.
 
Form 1/2-3/4 inch balls from the dough.  Place on the cookie sheet and
flatten with the bottom of a glass to between 1/8 - 1/16 inch.  Sprinkle
each cracker with some toasted sesame seeds and course salt.  Again, gently
pat the topping into the cracker.
 
Bake at 450 degrees for about 9-10 minutes.  Be careful.  They like to burn.
Remove crackers and place on a wire rack to cool and crisp up.
