Graham Crackers - Alton Brown

Description

From "Good Eats," episode "Flat Is Beautiful: Going Crackers." If you can't find graham flour, sift together 2/3 c all-purpose flour, 1/3 c coarse-ground wheat bran and 1 1/2 tsp wheat germ. Avoid baking powder with aluminum; it will make your crackers taste metallic.

Total Time : 1 Hr 10 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 12
  • 1⁄8 cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 baking soda
  • 1⁄2 kosher salt
  • 3⁄4 baking powder
  • 1 7⁄8 all-purpose flour
  • 3 dark brown sugar
  • 8 3⁄8 ounces graham flour (about 1 cup)
  • 3 unsalted butter
  • 2 1⁄4 molasses
  • 3tablespoons whole milk
  • 1⁄2 vanilla extract

Directions

  • In a food processor, combine cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, flour, brown sugar and graham flour. Pulse to combine. Add very cold butter and pulse until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Add molasses, milk and vanilla. Pulse until a smooth dough forms. Press dough into a 1/2" thick disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Roll dough between sheets of parchment to 1/8" thickness. Cut into 2x2" squares with a pizza cutter (or an accordion cutter, if you have one). Prick each cracker 3 times with the tines of a fork (or a docking roller if you have one). Remove irregular edges and bake in preheated 350°F oven for 25 minutes until the color has gotten slightly paler. Allow to cool completely IN THE PAN. Store in zip top bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 14 days.
