Graham crackers have always been a personal favorite
and my homemade graham crackers a crunchy buttery and delicious
I like to use a food processor for mine,
and I'll measure the dry ingredients right in there
I'll measure 2 cups of whole wheat flour into my food processor
I'll also add 1/2 a cup of all-purpose flour
Graham crackers I find are distinctive because of their sweetness
So I do add 1/3 of a cup of light brown sugar
There we go I do need baking powder a teaspoon
and half a teaspoon of salt
And in my own graham crackers half a teaspoon of cinnamon
I'll give this a pulse just to grind everything up
And you know the reason you see recipes like this
that call for pulsing and not just turning on the food processor
It's because the pulsing motion actually tosses all the ingredients up
Making them blend together more evenly
I've got a cup of butter
And now for the honey
The other distinctive characteristic of a graham cracker
Quarter cup of honey
First I pulse to start blending the ingredients
then I can turn the food processor on full speed to bring the dough together
Here we go
Once you see that ball shape form in your food processor
You know your graham cracker dough is mixed.
I'll shape this into two disks,
and then because the friction of the food processor blade softened up the butter
I need to pop these in the fridge to chill
Here we go
I'll let that dough chill and I have some that's had a chance to chill,
but I have let it soften up a little bit
I'm gonna roll my graham crackers into that classic style
Just a good old square
Alright, so I'll trim my edges
And I'll lift them on to my baking tray
Just like when you see in store-bought graham crackers,
there are holes in the tops of them
You need to dock each of your graham crackers
that way, they stay nice and flat as they bake
Alright
I've preheated my oven and I give these 12 to 14 minutes to bake
They turn a nice golden brown
Right around the outside edge. That's how I know they're done.
Oh they look so cute!
The real deal, graham crackers!
I can smell the cinnamon
and there's a certain toastiness you get from whole wheat flour it's just so familiar
Here we go
I'll let those cool
And of course you want to store your crackers of any type in an airtight container
To keep them nice and crisp
Aren't those adorable?
Just so sweet, and you know what I have to be honest
You saw how much butter I put into mine
There order line shortbready they're so delicate and light
Mmmmm
It's a richer cracker than you might think definitely a step above your store-bought version of a graham cracker
