I can't tell you how many times teachers have asked me to send in graham crackers so the kids could participate in activities. This is a fun recipe to mix-up, but if you're looking for more convenience, try these ideas: Cinnamon Crackers by Ener-G, Mock Graham Cracker Mix by Miss Roben's, and Rice Bran Graham Crackers by Health Valley.
Dry Ingredients
1-1/2 cups GF all-purpose flour 1/4 cup sorghum flour 1/3 cup garbanzo bean flour 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla (Nielsen-Massey) 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum 2 teaspoons GF baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
1/3 cup GFCF butter (Earth Balance, Spectrum) 1 tablespoon honey 2 tablespoons agave nectar 3 tablespoons rice syrup, corn syrup, or agave nectar 1/4 to 1/2 cup water
1) Preheat oven to 325°. Measure dry ingredients into a food processor and pulse to combine. 2) Measure the GFCF butter and liquid sweeteners into food processor. Pulse several times until dough is crumbly. Add 1/4 cup water and pulse, just until combined. The dough should hold its shape when pinched, otherwise add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse. Do not make the dough too wet. 3) Line 2 baking sheets with silpat or parchment. Place dough ball on each prepared baking sheet then place wax paper over the ball and roll dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Remove paper and score dough into 2x3-inch rectangles, using a spatula, not a knife. On each square, pierce top several times with fork tines. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes in a preheated oven. Do not over bake, cracker will firm-up once cooled. Break apart when slightly cool. Cool completely then store.
