How To Make Graham Crackers

Here's How:

1. Mix graham flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
2. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy.
3. Add honey and vanilla to creamed butter and sugar.
4. Alternating water and flour, add to creamed mixture, beating well after each.
5. Cover dough and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
6. Divide dough in half and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
7. Pat into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle and roll dough (with a floured rolling pin) within 1/2 inch of the edge of the cookie sheet.
8. Cut lines in the dough to form squares or rectangles.
9. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 30 minutes or until squares are browned.

Tips:

1. You can use a pastry cutter to make the dashed lines like store-bought crackers.
2. Try adding sugar or cinnamon sugar to the top of the crackers during the last few minutes of baking, if desired.
3. Substitute sugar syrup, brown rice syrup or double the amount of brown sugar if these crackers are to be consumed by children under 1 year of age, since they should not consume honey.
