This recipe for graham crackers comes from www.thefamilyhomestead.com . Crystal is like my HERO!!!! I have gotten many recipes from soup to laundry soap!!! She is great! You will see me giving credit to her for many of our common recipes.
Yummy Graham Crackers!
1/3 cup of olive oil
1/3 cup of honey
¼ cup of milk
2 T. molasses
1 t. vanilla
2 ½ to 3 cups of whole wheat pastry flour
1 t. baking powder
½ t. baking soda
¼ t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
In a large mixing bowl using a wire whisk, mix and combine oil, milk, honey, molasses, and vanilla. In a smaller bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of flour, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon. Add this to the liquid mixture. At some point you will want to switch the wire whip to a large mixing spoon. Add the extra ½ cup of flour if your dough is sticky. A little sticky is ok. By the time you finish adding the extra flour you will be doing the mixing with your hands.
Preheat the oven to 300*. While the oven is heating up, divide dough in half. Spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Now roll out one of the dough halves onto the cookie sheet. A cookie sheet without sides is the easiest.
Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into squares and poke with fork. Bake for about 20 to 25 min. Let cool on sheet and separate and carefully remove them.

Best Whole Wheat Bread EVER
I have been using this recipe for a little over a year now. I like it for many reasons. I can keep all these items in my pantry, and it is cheap. You dont need milk or eggs, so you can always have what you need on hand. I buy my lecithin and gluten flour, and vitamin C powder in bulk so I always have it on hand. We have experimented with many different flours. WE always grind our flour right before we make the bread. We use the hard white wheat for the best results. We have made it with half hard white and half hard red and it is ok also. So credit goes where it belongs, I got this recipe from Gail Knickerbocker. She is a wonderful lady with 11 children and a zest for life and knowledge to spare!!!!
