HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN HOMEMADE " GRAHAM CRACKERS "

How to Make Your Own Homemade

This is in response to a request for an alternative to Graham Crackers for those who live in countries where these are unavailable. I've tried shortcutting these to make a baked graham cracker crust, but found sometimes shorter isn't always better. These remind me of Nabisco's Honey Grahams. If you wish to make them into the Cinnamon Grahams, just sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar over the top before baking.

Time 4h15m

Yield 24 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 cup white flour
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
5 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, cold and sliced into small pieces
1/4 cup vegetable shortening (I use Crisco.)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Combine flours, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
Work in the butter and shortening with your fingers until the mixture has the consistency of coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, mix the honey, molasses, water and vanilla.
Sprinkle this mixture over the dry ingredients and toss with a fork until well blended.
Form the dough into a ball.
Cover and chill for several hours.
Cut the dough in half and let it sit for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Sprinkle a piece of wax paper with whole wheat flour.
Roll out one of the dough pieces flat to about 7 x 15 inches.
If the dough cracks or breaks, just pinch the edges back together.
Poke a fork into the dough at 1/2-1" intervals.
Then cut into 2 1/2" squares.
Use a spatula to move the squares to a large, ungreased baking sheet.
You can place them close together.
Repeat with the other half of the dough.
Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes at 350 deg F or until lightly browned on the edges.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
Will keep up to a month (Remember there are no preservatives).

Tips:

Use cold butter. This will help to keep the dough from becoming too sticky and difficult to work with.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crackers tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the crackers from spreading too much in the oven.
Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.
Let the crackers cool completely before serving. This will help them to crisp up even more.

Conclusion:

Homemade graham crackers are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used in a variety of desserts. They are also a great way to use up leftover honey or maple syrup. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious graham crackers that are sure to impress your family and friends.
