Homemade Graham Crackers

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Turn your oven onto 350°F (175°C) and prepare two cookie sheets with some parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: Add whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon into a large bowl.
3. Add Cold Butter: Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. The butter should be even; it is okay if they appear as small lumps.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the honey, vanilla extract, and milk. Add the wet mix to the dry and stir until it becomes a dough. You will have a slightly sticky dough, and it would be easy to work with.
5. Roll Out the Dough: Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to ⅛-inch thickness. Make thin dough so that your crackers are crisp, but not so thin that they fall apart when you cut them.
6. Cut and Shape the Crackers: With a sharp knife (or a pizza cutter), cut the dough into 2×2 inch squares (or whatever shape you prefer). Place squares on the prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart. Working quickly, use the tines of a fork to pierce each cracker with 1 or more rows of holes; this will allow steam to escape during baking.
7. Bake the Crackers: Bake the Crackers in a pre-heated oven for 12–15 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to touch. If you desire those crackers to be super-duper crispy, bake them for 2-3 extra minutes.
8. Cool and Store: When the crackers have completely cooled, place them on a wire rack. Let them cool completely before storing the homemade Graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Tips and Variations

1. Honey Graham Crackers: Increase or decrease the amount of honey to your desired sweetness in the Graham crackers. 
2. Spice: Add a pinch of nutmeg, ginger, or cardamom to the dough for even more flavor. That is particularly tasty if you are using the Graham crackers for Christmas baking or Christmas treats.
3. Whole Wheat Option: For a more nutritious cracker, you could make these 100% whole wheat instead of using whole wheat and all-purpose flour. 
4. Gluten-Free version: For those who are allergic to gluten, you can replace all-purpose flour and whole wheat pastry flour with a good-quality mix one. 
5. Covered Graham Crackers: Soak Graham wafers in dissolved dim chocolate and spot them on a sheet fixed with material. Great for giving as a gift or keeping on hand when you want something a little nicer to snack on.
6. Use a food processor or hand beaters and mix until well combined; the dough will be pliable but not sticky. Layer ¼ inch thick for soft crackers. To make ultra-thin and crispy Graham crackers, roll it even thinner than 1/8 inch, but be careful not to overbake.
