Ingredients
Graham Crackers
- 1 ¼ cups (160 g) whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (65 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, cold, cubed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or canola oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 to 4 tablespoons whole milk
Optional Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work it into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the oil, honey, molasses, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons of milk. Mix until a dough forms. If it seems dry, add the remaining milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the dough holds together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- When ready, preheat oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough very thin, about ⅛ inch thick.
- Cut into squares or rectangles, about 2 ½ × 2 ½ inches. A pizza cutter works well. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
- Prick each cracker several times with a fork or skewer to prevent bubbles during baking.
- Lightly sprinkle the crackers with a cinnamon-sugar mixture (if using).
- Bake 10 to 14 minutes, until lightly golden and dry to the touch. Rotate the pans halfway through for even baking.
- Let crackers cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp further as they cool.
- Keep crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or crush into homemade graham cracker crumbs for pie crusts or desserts.
