Ingredients

2 ¼ cups (270g) all purpose flour or gluten free all purpose flour I like Pillsbury's GF flour
½ cup (107g) packed brown sugar
2 ½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
7 Tbsp (101g) butter cut into small pieces
3 Tbsp cold water
3 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla
Cinnamon Sugar for topping

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and soda, and salt.
2 1/4 cups (270g) all purpose flour or gluten free all purpose flour, 1/2 cup (107g) packed brown sugar, 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt
Cut the butter into small pieces, and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix it well into the dry ingredients.
7 Tbsp (101g) butter
Add the water, honey and vanilla, stir to combine with a spatula or your hands.
3 Tbsp cold water, 3 Tbsp honey, 1 tsp vanilla
If the dough is too dry, add more water 1/2 tsp at a time until the dough isn’t too dry or too sticky.
Gather the dough into a ball, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 350º F. Remove the dough from the fridge and divide it in half. Place half the dough back in the fridge while you work with the other half.
On a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and a little flour, flatten and roll the dough using a rolling pin. You made need some extra flour to keep the dough from sticking.
Roll the dough to your desired thickness, I eyeball it.
Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares and then use a fork to poke holes.
Generously sprinkle with a mixture of cinnamon sugar
Cinnamon Sugar for topping
Bake for 18-20 minutes. At this point it depends on how you prefer your grahams, I like mine crunchy, not soft. Generally, I will remove the edge pieces because they more done and continue to bake the rest of the crackers for 10-15 more minutes. The great thing about this recipe is that you can pull the crackers out of the oven, let them cool completely to see how done they are and decide to put them back in the oven if they aren't crunchy yet.
Store in an air tight container.
