The way my boys eat them, I would spend a fortune on honey graham crackers at the grocery store. So I decided to make a homemade version that is less processed—and less expensive. These are wonderful, although they still don't last long. —Crystal Jo Bruns, Iliff, Colorado

Homemade Honey Grahams

Prep Time 15 min
Cook Time 10 min
Yield 32 crackers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 4 tablespoons ice water

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk first 8 ingredients; cut in butter until crumbly. In another bowl, whisk honey and water; gradually add to dry ingredients, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed.
  2. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; cover and refrigerate until firm enough to roll, about 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to an 8-in. square. Using a knife or fluted pastry wheel, cut each portion into sixteen 2-in. squares. If desired, prick holes with a fork. Place 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  4. Bake until edges are light brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
