Homemade Graham Crackers Recipe

These Homemade Graham Crackers start with a blend of whole wheat flour, light brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt mixed in a large bowl. Cold butter is rubbed into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs, adding flakiness. A combination of milk, honey, and vanilla is whisked separately and then incorporated to form a soft, sticky dough.

Chilling the dough for at least an hour firms it for rolling out to about one-eighth inch thickness on a floured surface. The dough is cut into rectangular pieces and scored for easier breaking after baking. The crackers bake on parchment-lined sheets until firm and golden, resulting in a crisp texture with subtle sweetness and warm cinnamon aroma.

These crackers work well as a snack or as a base for s'mores. The use of whole wheat flour provides a wholesome texture and flavor contrasted by the honey and vanilla in the dough. Careful chilling and rolling keep the dough manageable despite its softness.
