I cutting the crackers inwards several dissimilar designs earlier deciding I liked this i best.  The master copy recipe mentions baking the crackers inwards i slice every bit pictured above.  I preferred separating them as well as thus each i had a overnice squelch on the edges.

The grams receive got a hint of cinnamon as well as a lightly sweetness taste.  They sense of savor simply similar graham crackers – instruct figure!  They are as well as thus slow to make, move along for weeks inwards an airtight container as well as are made alongside no preservatives – as well as they’re delicious!

Recipe Notes

(Slightly adapted from a recipe past times Alton Brown, 2008, on Foodnetwork)

I used my scale as well as the weight measurements to a higher identify instead of converting to cups, etc.  I believe the weight is of import hither every bit each flour volition come upwards up a fiddling different.  If y'all experience the dough is also gluey add together a tablespoon or 2 of AP flour as well as procedure again.  The dough should live soft but non wet.  I did non examination alongside graham flour as well as thus y'all may desire to stick alongside Alton’s master copy measurements if y'all are able to uncovering the production inwards your stores.  For a sweeter snack sprinkle alongside cinnamon saccharide earlier baking.  No thing which flour y'all utilisation – live certain to pose these on your listing of skillful things to bake!  I’ve saved a few for some other recipe to transportation service side past times side calendar week as well as thus rest tuned.

We’re supposed to instruct 10 inches of snowfall tomorrow nighttime as well as all 24-hour interval Wednesday.  What-up alongside that?  Winter has decided to brand i final view fifty-fifty though spring is simply or as well as thus the corner.  Oh good – convey it quondam homo wintertime – we’ll simply roast some marshmallows as well as pose them on our grahams!  And I approximate we’ll shovel some snowfall also 🙂

Thanks as well as thus much for stopping by!
