Make your own homemade honey graham crackers with this easy and delicious recipe. These crispy and flavorful crackers are perfect for snacking or for making s'mores. With a hint of sweet honey and a touch of cinnamon, these graham crackers will quickly become a family favorite.

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Using the tines of a fork or a toothpick, prick the surface of each cracker to create the classic graham cracker design.
  8. 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.
  9. Once cooled, store the graham crackers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
