Graham Crackers

What if I told you that graham crackers are one of the easiest things to make?  Would you believe me?  Well, they are!  I have made them two nights in a row to give you two options for your sugar and both ways are easy and quite tasty.  In fact we used them to make smores last night and they were absolutely fantastic! 

Now, I love my honey, so the first version uses straight honey as the sweetener.  For those of you that are not huge into honey, I have a second version that uses equal parts brown sugar and honey to tone down the honey taste just a little, but still give it that Honey Graham taste that I love.

Honey Graham Crackers (Refined Sugar-Free Version)

1 cup GF flour blend

1/2 cup almond meal

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons dairy-free margarine

1/4 cup honey

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F.

In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients.  In a saucepan melt together the margarine and honey.  Pour the honey into the dry ingredients and mix together with a spoon, then knead with your hands until the dough is nice and smooth.

Roll the dough out on a piece of parchment paper (makes for easier clean up) to 1/8" thickness and cut out your crackers with a pizza cutter.  Place the crackers on an ungreased cookie sheet and poke them with a fork.

Bake at 375F for 10 minutes.  Allow them to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then finish cooling on a wire cooling rack.
