Graham Crackers - Alton Brown image

From "Good Eats," episode "Flat Is Beautiful: Going Crackers." If you can't find graham flour, sift together 2/3 c all-purpose flour, 1/3 c coarse-ground wheat bran and 1 1/2 tsp wheat germ. Avoid baking powder with aluminum; it will make your crackers taste metallic.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1 7/8 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1/2 cup)
3 ounces dark brown sugar (about 5 1/2 tbsp)
8 3/8 ounces graham flour (about 1 cup)
3 ounces unsalted butter, diced (6 tbsp)
2 1/4 ounces molasses (about 3 tbsp plus 1/2 tsp)
3 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, flour, brown sugar and graham flour. Pulse to combine. Add very cold butter and pulse until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Add molasses, milk and vanilla. Pulse until a smooth dough forms. Press dough into a 1/2" thick disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Roll dough between sheets of parchment to 1/8" thickness. Cut into 2x2" squares with a pizza cutter (or an accordion cutter, if you have one). Prick each cracker 3 times with the tines of a fork (or a docking roller if you have one). Remove irregular edges and bake in preheated 350°F oven for 25 minutes until the color has gotten slightly paler. Allow to cool completely IN THE PAN. Store in zip top bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 14 days.

These graham crackers were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time.

These graham crackers are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

These graham crackers were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.
