Babies and toddlers love graham crackers. Here's a simple recipe that is sure to be a hit with your family.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 1 1/2 hours
Here's How:
- Mix graham flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy.
- Add honey and vanilla to creamed butter and sugar.
- Alternating water and flour, add to creamed mixture, beating well after each.
- Cover dough and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough in half and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- 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.
- Cut lines in the dough to form squares or rectangles.
- Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 30 minutes or until squares are browned.
Tips:
- You can use a pastry cutter to make the dashed lines like store-bought crackers.
- Try adding sugar or cinnamon sugar to the top of the crackers during the last few minutes of baking, if desired.
- The baking process in this recipe is enough to kill any harmful spores in the honey. You may choose to substitute light karo syrup or additional brown sugar (with a little water for moisture) for children under 1 year, if desired.
