Homemade Graham Crackers Recipe by Mollie Katzen
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Fresh from the oven: Incredible – warm, soft-center with crispy edges, like a thin shortbread-meets-biscuit.
- Cooled: They become sturdy and crunchy but remain more tender and less dry than commercial crackers. They shatter nicely, not too hard.
- Flavor profile: The cinnamon is warm but restrained; the molasses is present but not overpowering. Kids might prefer a touch more honey; adults will appreciate the balance.
Tips and Variations:
Overall Rating:
★★★★½ (4.5/5) Best For: Bakers who love slight customization, parents seeking healthier snacks, and fans of cozy, from-scratch projects. Not Ideal For: Those seeking an exact, shelf-stable, ultra-crisp commercial dupe.
- Make exceptional pie crusts for cheesecake or key lime pie (just crush and add butter).
- Hold up beautifully in s’mores – the denser texture prevents the chocolate-squish disaster of flimsy store-bought versions.
- Are fantastic simply spread with cream cheese or peanut butter.
