I just published this on another blog, but I thought it might be fun to publish it here too. It's been a while since I've highlighted one of our delicious recipes!
But, sometimes I just can't resist. Especially when my kids have a hankering for something and I can't see anything on the store-bought brand ingredients that even remotely resembles something edible.
Here's one of my kids' favorites. We make them with all different shaped cookie cutters too, but the squares are the easiest.
4 T (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 egg
6 T sugar
2 T honey
2 T molasses
1/2 t baking soda
2 t water
1 egg
6 T sugar
2 T honey
2 T molasses
1/2 t baking soda
2 t water
3/4 t salt
1 1/2 C graham flour (I used whole wheat)
3/4 C all-purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Combine the butter, egg and sugar in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the honey and molasses and blend.
Dissolve the baking soda in the water and add to the butter mixture.
Add the salt, graham flour, and all-purpose flour to the mixture and blend thoroughly. The dough should hold together and be manageable. If it is too "tacky" add a little more graham flour.
Liberally dust two cookie sheets with flour.
Split the dough in half or do 1/3 and 2/3 and roll out on each cookie sheet - I used my fingers to press it down. It should be about 1/8 inch thick - remember, the soda will make it rise a little.
If you want them to be as thick as I have in my picture, don't split the dough at all, but you will have a more chewy cracker.
Score the dough with a pizza cutter or knife, but not all the way through, into squares. Depending on the size you make you could have 20-40 per cookie sheet.
Prick each square a few times with the tines of a fork.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Gently lift out with a spatula and slide onto cooling racks. Once they are cooled, they'll be ready to eat - but Sam and I like ours warm.
