Swedish breakfast crackers are a staple in every Swedish household. They are also known as 'Frukost Fingers', which translates to 'breakfast fingers'. These biscuits are perfect for those busy mornings when you don't have the time to prepare an elaborate breakfast. These crackers are quite versatile and can be customized with different flavors like cheese, herbs, or spices to suit your taste buds. They also make for a great on-the-go snack that is nutritious and delicious.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line your baking sheet with a parchment paper.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3.	Beat the egg and milk into the butter-sugar mixture until everything is well combined.
4.	In another bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
5.	Slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, mixing until the dough is well combined. It should be stiff but still handling.
6.	On a floured board, roll out the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness.
7.	Cut the dough into your desired shapes and sizes using a cookie cutter or a knife.
8.	Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn light golden brown.
9.	Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
