Homemade Graham Crackers

Makes 24

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (165 grams) firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (42 grams) honey
  • 1 tablespoon (21 grams) molasses
  • 1 teaspoon (3 grams) kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
  • 2 cups (260 grams) whole-wheat flour

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, brown sugar, honey, molasses, salt, and cinnamon at medium speed until combined. In a small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gradually add whole-wheat flour to butter mixture alternately with all-purpose flour mixture, beating until combined.
  • Roll dough to ⅛-inch thick 18x16-inch rectangle between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Transfer to a baking sheet. Remove top layer of paper, and score dough with a knife into 2-inch squares, being sure to cut all the way through. Use a wooden skewer to make holes in crackers. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Bake until crackers begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Once cooled, break apart into squares.

  1. […] So I grew up with a cute dad who ate graham crackers and milk often for his late evening snack. Graham crackers in all their forms (including Trader Joe’s-old fashioned!) bring on a lot of nostalgia for me. But homemade graham crackers, oh my. They are the bomb. I’ve made this recipe a ton–my kids and their friends love them! The thinner you roll them out, the crispier of a cracker you get. If you keep them on the thicker side, they will be more like a graham cookie. And have you ever had a s’more on homemade graham crackers?? Please do that with these-you are in for a TREAT! Adapted from Bake From Scratch. […]
