Homemade Graham
Crackers
| 1 C all purpose flour (King
Arthur) |
1 1/4 C King Arthur white whole
wheat flour |
| 5 T sugar |
1/2 t salt |
| 1/2 t baking soda |
1 t baking powder |
| 1/4 t cinnamon |
3 T unsalted chilled butter cut
into small pieces |
| 1/4 C Coconut Oil Supreme™
(chilled) |
2 T (42 g) honey |
| 1 T (21 g) molasses |
1/4 C cold water |
| 1 t vanilla extract |
|
Blend together all dry ingredients in a bowl.
With a pastry blender, food processor or your finger
tips, work in the butter and coconut oil until small even
particles are formed. If you use a food processor (the
method I prefer) the coconut oil can also be chilled and
the blade will break it up into small pieces. Otherwise
the coconut oil should be room temperature so that it is
softer and can be worked by hand or with a pastry
blender.
Mix together the honey, molasses, water and
vanilla extract and sprinkle this mixture gradually into
the dry ingredients, tossing with a fork until the liquid
is evenly incorporated. Press the dough together into a
ball. It may be crumbly, but do not add water. Wrap in
plastic wrap and chill for several hours or
overnight.
Halve the dough. Let it soften for about 15
minutes. Roll the dough out to pie crust thickness. Prick
the dough all over with a sharp tined fork and then cut
into approximately 2.5" squares or cut with a biscuit
cutter. Transfer to a parchment covered baking sheet with
a spatula, placing them very close together, almost
touching. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of
dough. Re-roll and cut the scraps.
Bake the crackers on the middle shelf of a
preheated 350°F oven for about 15 minutes or until
browned (graham cracker color). If underbaked the
crackers will not develop either flavor or texture.
Transfer from the parchment to a wire rack and let cool
completely, then store in an airtight container. If the
container is airtight these will keep for
weeks.
