Equipment

  • Large Mixing Spoon
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wax Paper
  • Parchment Paper
  • Fork or Straw

Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter softened
  • ¾ c. Brown Sugar packed
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 3 tbsp. Honey
  • 1 ½ c. All Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ c. Wheat Flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp. Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and honey.
  • Gradually add in the all purpose flour and the wheat flour alternating between them until both are fully combined.
  • Roll out graham cracker dough between sheets of wax paper to about 1/8″ thickness.
    Cut or score into individual cracker sizes and use a toothpick or fork to make holes in the crackers to help air circulate.
    Once you’ve got each cracker scored, freeze for 30 minutes to harden the dough.
  • Remove the dough from the freezer and separate each cracker using the scores you cut earlier.
    Line them up on the baking sheet. You do not want the edges to be touching. This will result in softer edges so make sure there is a tiny bit of space between each cracker.
    Bake for 10 minutes or just until your homemade graham crackers start to brown.

Notes

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Graham Crackers at Home

This particular graham cracker recipe does not have a cinnamon sugar topping, however, it is not hard to add one if you desire.
To do so, melt 1-2 tablespoons butter. Then, using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the hot crackers with the melted butter. While the melted butter is still wet, sprinkle a cinnamon/sugar mix on top.
Allow to cool completely before using.
 

How to Keep Homemade Graham Crackers from Going Stale

You can keep them from going stale one of two ways.
The first method is to follow the graham cracker recipe below until you get to the step where you roll the dough out. Instead of rolling and scoring the crackers, roll the dough into a ball, cover twice with plastic wrap then freeze the dough ball in a freezer bag.
When you need or want them, thaw the dough a bit and continue with the recipe.
The other method is to follow the recipe completely and freeze the final product. This method works best if you are not worried about them getting crushed such as when you’re using them in a graham cracker crust.
