homemade graham crackers

These graham crackers are the BEST.  We love making gourmet s'mores out of these with homemade marshmallows and fancy chocolate.  Or just eating them plain.  They are a perfect treat!  You can vary them up by changing the spices a little bit (I love them with British mixed spice and a bit of candied ginger mixed in).


Homemade Graham Crackers

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 2 T. honey
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 2 t. cinnamon, divided
  • 3/4 t. baking soda
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 3 T. sugar

Beat butter, sugar, honey, and vanilla on medium speed for one minute, or until fluffy.  

Combine dry ingredients; add to butter mixture, beating until just blended.

Use dampened fingertips to press dough into a 17"x12" jelly-roll pan lined with parchment paper.  Cover dough with additional parchment paper; smooth surface of dough with bottom of a dry measuring cup.  Remove and discard top parchment paper.  Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle over dough.  Using tines of a fork, score dough into 24 squares, pressing completely through dough with each indentation.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.  While crackers are still warm, score again.  Cool completely in pan on a wire rack; bake into individual crackers.  Makes 2 dozen.
