Graham Crackers

My girls and I were playing over at a  friend’s house a couple weeks ago. We stayed for morning snack, which consisted of bite sized graham crackers, apple slices and cheese slices.  My girls and I normally have cheese and apples slices as a snack at least once a week, but we almost never have graham crackers.  When I a grocery shopping,  I don’t ever think about purchasing them from the store. Needless to say, it was a real treat, and my girls, and their friends devoured the whole box of mini graham crackers, along with the cheese and apple slices.

I have been making graham crackers ever since. I do not have graham flour in my pantry, so I improvise. This recipe is adapted from Alton Brown’s Graham Crackers Recipe. This is a very crisp, crunchy,  flavorful cracker. It is actually not even a graham cracker, it is a seven grain cracker, but tastes just like, if not better than graham crackers you purchase at the store. Don’t just go by what I say though, make them, eat them, and share them at your next playdate. Let this delicious cracker speak for itself.
