How to Make Graham Crackers
- In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup shortening and 1 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line two baking sheets.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thickness (adjust thickness as needed).
- Cut the dough into rectangles using a pizza cutter or knife.
- Place the graham cracker cutouts 1/2 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
- Remove from baking sheets and let cool completely on wire racks before serving or storing.
