homemade graham crackers
from girl who bakes (pretty seriously modified from martha's recipe)
yields approximately 30
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon all spice
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1. preheat oven to 350 degrees. whisk flours, salt, baking soda, and spices in a medium bowl, set aside.
2. in the bowl of stand mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and honey. add flour mixture and beat until just combined.
3. using your hands, shape dough into a smooth-ish ball, and place between two sheets of floured parchment. roll out to about 1/8 inch thick. (note: mine are obviously thicker and i sort of like them like that, it's this cracker-shortbread-biscuit hybrid, but you can choose your own adventure with this one.)
4. cut out desired shapes and place on another sheet of parchment. chill in freezer until firm, about 20 minutes.
5. remove dough from freezer and pierce crackers using a fork. transfer to baking sheet lined with parchment and bake, rotating halfway through, until dark golden brown (8-9 minutes, depending on thickness). let cool on wire racks.
