Homemade Graham Crackers

October 25, 2013

Here’s how I made homemade graham crackers. I compared the results of King Arthur’s recipe with store bought and adjusted it according to the order they are listed on the ingredients of store bought graham crackers. I don’t think there’s as much whole wheat flour in graham crackers as most folks think. I also increased the sugar, rolled them thicker and reduced the baking time. You guessed it, I used White Lily flour, lol.

Graham Crackers

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp milk
additional milk to brush with
cinnamon sugar if you’re making cinnamon sugar graham crackers

In a large bowl combine flours, sugar, salt, cinnamon and baking powder. Mix well. In a separate bowl mix together egg, oil, honey and milk. Stir into dry ingredients, adding a little more milk if needed. Mix well until you form a stiff dough. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll out 1/8″ thick. Cut into crackers about 3″ square. Place crackers on a lightly greased baking sheet and prick each cracker several times with a fork or sharp object. If you want to make the cinnamon sugar type of graham cracker, brush with milk then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen.
