I've always been interested in making graham crackers at home and they are actually quite easy to make. You can whip them together just like any other cut-out cookie recipe<\/a> (like gingerbread<\/a> and sugar cookies<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is in graham crackers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Graham crackers are made with whole wheat flour and wheat germ that many recipes called for. Apparently, graham crackers got their name, not from some dude named Graham who created them, but from the \"graham flour\" that is used to make them. Graham flour<\/a> was actually named after a dude named Graham (it figures at some point, there was a Graham involved, somehow!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I'm definitely going to keep a batch on hand at all times, just so that I am ready to make last-minute graham cracker crusts and microwave s'mores whenever I want to. I can't wait to play with them in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
