Graham Crackers
These old-fashioned grain-free graham crackers bake up crisp, golden, and lightly sweet with a satisfying snap. Whether made with honey or finished with cinnamon, they're perfect for afternoon coffee, layered desserts, homemade crusts, or simply enjoyed straight from the cookie jar.
FORAGE BAKER'S NOTES
Flour matters. Gluten-free flour blends—and even traditional wheat flours—can vary widely in weight per cup, which is why we recommend using a kitchen scale whenever possible.
If measuring by volume, gently scoop Heritage Baker's Flour into a measuring cup and level with a knife. This yields approximately 125g per cup. Packing the cup can result in excess flour and a denser cracker, while spooning may under-measure.
Sweeteners matter too. Sweeteners significantly affect texture and crispness. For best results, we recommend Homestead Sweetener or traditional sugar.
- Homestead Sweetener: 140g per cup (1:1 sugar replacement by volume)
- Granulated Sugar: 200g per cup
WORKING THE DOUGH
Graham crackers continue to crisp as they cool. Allow them to cool completely before judging texture. Rolling the dough thin is essential for achieving a classic snap. Scoring before the final bake creates clean, breakable crackers.
