Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate smaller bowl, combine the honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly until it comes together. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Using a sharp knife or a graham cracker cutter, cut the dough into rectangles or desired shapes. Place the shaped crackers onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Using the tines of a fork or a toothpick, prick the surface of each cracker to create the classic graham cracker design.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, store the graham crackers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
