Recently our oldest daughter was visiting us. She does her best to feed her granddaughter healthy options. While she was staying with us she made the most delicious batch of homemade graham crackers. They were so much better than store bought graham crackers. She found the recipe on the Weelicious.com website. They are so easy to make in just a short amount of time you can be enjoying a batch of these delicious crackers!
If you’ve never tried to make your own graham crackers before you’ll be surprised at how easy a process it is. I’m sure young children would have fun cutting out shapes of their own!
Homemade Graham Crackers
Adapted from weelicious.com
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
½ cup butter, chilled and cubed
¼ cup honey
¼ cup water
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
In your food processor or mixer combine the first six ingredients. Add the cubed and chilled butter to the mix and pulse/mix until the mix resembles coarse meal. Add the honey and water and continue to mix until it is well combined.
Remove and shape the dough by rolling it out until ¼ inch thick. Cut into crackers or shapes. You can use any variety of cookie cutters or just cut the dough into squares.
Place the dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Cool and serve.
Store in an airtight container. You could freeze these delicious crackers as well although they always seem to go pretty quickly in our household!
