Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the honey mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together. Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier handling.
Roll out one portion of dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and use a knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 2x2-inch squares.
Use a fork to poke holes in each square to create the classic graham cracker pattern. Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto one of the prepared baking sheets.
Repeat the rolling, cutting, and transferring process with the second portion of dough.
Bake the graham crackers in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown around the edges. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through for even baking.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheets before breaking them apart along the cut lines. They will become crisp as they cool.
Store the honey graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Enjoy them as a snack, with a spread, or in your favorite recipes!
