I have been wanting to do this for awhile: homemade graham crackers. Havn't gotten around to it, but this little girl and her Mom did from Five Green Acres blog. Looks like they had a lot of fun + the recipe looks delicious! I have included the recipe below, but be sure to check out Five Green Acres... a blog about city mice who move to the country!
1 c. sifted flour - graham or whole wheat
1 c. white flour (whole wheat pastry flour worked well for me)
1t. baking powder
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. milk + a little more to get the right consistency
Mix dry ingredients, work in butter with a pastry blender. Stir in honey and milk, then knead to form firm balls. Add a little bit of milk as necessary to get this consistency. Roll out to about 1/4″ thick. Cut into squares or use cookie cutters.Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, or until brown.
I think it might be best to store these in a loosely-fitted container to maintain the crispiness of crackers. We didn’t, and our crackers were more like less-sweet cut-out cookies than crackers, so we’ll try that next time. Also, not having milk, we found that using half and half, which we did have on hand, worked well when diluted a bit. Not that I’d recommend the substitution unless you’re in a real pinch…
If you also have ABC cookie cutters, you’re in luck. The B and the X are especially delicious with this recipe.
