Gluten Free Friday – Graham Crackers

This recipe comes from Rebecca Reilly’s Gluten Free Baking. She specifies a couple of different flours to use, but I just use my typical mixture of rice, tapioca, and potato flours, and they seem to work just as well. I have made these multiple times for camping trips and backyard bonfires, so that the kids can have regular looking and tasting s’mores. A labor of love, but really not THAT difficult.

Graham Crackers

2 1/4 cups GF flour mix
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 3/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 tsp salt
7 Tbsp butter, chilled and chopped into pieces
3-4 Tbsp cold water
3 Tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla

Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt together. Using fingertips, work butter into the dry ingredients. Stir in 3 Tbsp cold water, honey, and vanilla. If dough is too dry, add a little bit more water, a teaspoon at a time. Roll dough into a ball and refrigerate for about an hour.
Roll dough out to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Use flour mixture to dust surface, or roll between parchment paper if desired. Cut into 2X3 inch pieces and prick all over lightly with a fork. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 12-15 minute at 325 degrees until golden brown. Cool on rack. Repeat with remaining dough.

Variations: Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over before baking for cinnamon grahams.
For chocolate grahams, replace 1/3 cup plus 3 Tbsp flour with cocoa powder.
