DIY Graham Crackers

Growing up we loved having graham crackers for a late snack. There is nothing like a crunchy cracker, melting in your mouth. We also used them in our graham cracker crumb crusts and were sad when we had to say goodbye. We have used GF graham cracker crumbs and have tried the GF graham crackers with our summer S'Mores, but still nothing is like the original.
That all changed when Charlotte and her skilled internet skills discovered a recipe. These crackers are delicious and we can't wait to try them with marshmallows! mmm Summer S'Mores.

























































Homemade Graham Crackers
(adapted from Gwam Crackers by Isa Chandra) 

You will need:

1 and 3/4 cups of spelt flour
1/3 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp of molasses
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of soya milk

How to: 

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350'F. Take out a baking sheet and set aside

Step 2: In a large bowl mix spelt flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the middle and pour in oil, molasses and vanilla. Give the liquids a good stir with a whisk and then mix the rest of the ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 3: Drizzle in the soya milk and use your hands to combine the mixture. Form the dough into a ball.

Step 4: Lay out a sheet of parchment paper on your counter. Place the ball of dough in the center and lay another sheet of parchment paper on top. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangle as best you can, approx 1/8 inch thick.

Step 5: Lift up the top layer of parchment paper and using a pizza cutter score the dough into a checkerboard. Place the whole sheet of parchment paper with the scored dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 12- 14 minutes

Step 6: After removing crackers from oven, transfer crackers to counter and if needed score again. There you go!






Enjoy!
