The next time you go to the grocery store, take a look in the snack aisle and see how much the name brand graham crackers cost. Let me put it this way, they aren't cheap! Lauren and Dominic LOVE graham crackers, but I don't buy them very often. I have seen several recipes for homemade graham crackers, but they were either really complicated, involved a food processor or you needed a mixer with a dough "hook"or "paddle." Since I don't own a food processor or a mixer with attachments, that let out about 99% of the recipes I found! My husband who doesn't eat any kind of graham cracker, "sampled" one of mine. He rated them "very good." Lauren told me they were a 10 out of 10. Be forewarned, these are super delicious and addictive.
Ingredients:
2 cups white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature (cut into small cubes)
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup honey
In large bowl, put white flour, wheat flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add the butter and "cut" in using two knives or a pastry blender until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the light brown sugar, white sugar and honey. Using a large spoon or your hands, mix until the batter is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Take a 11 inch x 17 inch jelly roll pan and cover with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray and then press batter evenly into pan with the palms of your hands or fingertips. Prick entire batter with a fork and bake for 20 minutes, turning pan around after 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool completely and then cut into rectangles or squares.
