Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix the honey, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough in half, wrap tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough thinly (about 3 mm) on a floured surface and cut into rectangles.
- Transfer to the baking sheet and prick with a fork.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Allow to cool completely; they will crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- Chill the dough for easier rolling and better texture.
- For softer crackers, reduce baking time slightly.
- Re-crisp softened crackers in a low oven for a few minutes.
- Add cinnamon sugar topping before baking for extra sweetness.
