Graham Crackers

Graham Crackers deliver a lightly sweet, wheaty taste with a toasted aroma and satisfying snap. Perfect for nibbling, layering into s’mores, or blitzing into crumb crusts, these crisp squares balance brown sugar warmth with whole-wheat depth. Serve them for after-school snacks, campfire nights, or as a versatile base for pies and bars.

Graham Crackers
  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, cream the shortening and brown sugar. Stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir this into the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Cover the dough and chill until firm, about 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the cookie sheets.

  3. 3

    Roll the chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 48 rectangles. Place them 1/2 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and the edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Move the crackers from the baking sheet to wire racks to cool.
