I started to wonder if I could make them from scratch, saving money and artificial ingredients. I did a google search, and turns out they are fairly easy to make! Here's the recipe I used.
Homemade Graham Crackers
12 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
With mixer beat the butter, brown sugar, and honey until fluffy and well combined. Add the eggs; beat well. To the mixing bowl add the flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined. Refrigerate dough for at least one hour.
On a well floured surface roll out the dough to 1/8" thickness. I divided my dough up into sections and rolled it out one at a time for easier handling. Using a cookie cutter of your choice,* cut out shapes and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Allow to cool and set for about 30 minutes to be cracker-like. Enjoy!
*I used a fringed circle cookie cutter, but thought it would be fun to use different shapes, letters, or numbers if making for children. What a fun way to teach your kids the alphabet!
