Servings

• 1.5 cup Graham flour
• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 stick Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoon Honey
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine graham flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, milk, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
5. Once the dough comes together, divide it in half and shape each half into a rectangular block.
6. Wrap the dough blocks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough block to about 1/8 inch thickness.
9. Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes using a cookie cutter or a knife.
10. Transfer the cut-out crackers onto the prepared baking sheet.
11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
12. Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack.
13. Repeat steps 8-12 with the remaining dough block.
14. Once cooled, store the graham crackers in an airtight container.
