Providing your family with whole grain goodness and long term food storage.

This website is lovingly dedicated to my mother who has taught me so much. I will be forever grateful to her for her constant example and her tireless effort in behalf of those of us blessed enough to be called her family.

Graham Crackers  courtesy Wayne Harley Brachman, Retro Desserts by Wayne Harley Brachman: William Morrow Publishers, 2000

Homemade Graham Crackers:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or Oat Flour

  • 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour

  • 1/2 cup light rye flour (If you do not have Rye in your food storage yet, go ahead and substitute whole wheat flour.
  • 1/2 cup sugar (I use brown sugar)

  • 1 teaspoon baking  powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into pea-size bits

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoon molasses

  • 1/4 cup cold water

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Graham Crackers: In a food processor or the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and mix or process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the honey, molasses, water, and vanilla. Mix until the dough comes together in a ball.

 

Between 2 sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap, roll the dough 1/2-inch thick. Chill for 1 hour, until firm. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour the dough and roll 1/8-inch thick. With a sharp knife or cookie cutter, cut into 2-inch squares. Arrange the crackers on nonstick or parchment lined cookie sheets. With a fork, prick several holes in each cracker. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan.

 

Yield: 48 crackers
