Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the chilled, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a dough begins to form. Use your hands to knead the dough gently until it comes together into a smooth ball.

Step 6

Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier rolling.

Step 7

Place one portion of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, trim the edges and cut the dough into rectangles or squares, approximately 2x3 inches.

Step 9

Transfer the cut pieces to the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cracker.

Step 10

Use a fork to prick holes in each cracker to help them bake evenly.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling, cutting, and pricking process with the second portion of dough.

Step 12

Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the crackers turn golden brown.

Step 13

Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets to crisp up.

Step 14

Store the graham crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
