How to Make Graham Crackers

  1. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup shortening and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line two baking sheets.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness (adjust thickness as needed).
  8. Cut the dough into rectangles using a pizza cutter or knife.
  9. Place the graham cracker cutouts 1/2 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
  11. Remove from baking sheets and let cool completely on wire racks before serving or storing.
