HONEY GRAHAMS

      Title: HONEY GRAHAMS
  Categories: Crackers
       Yield: 40 Servings
  
       2 c  Whole wheat flour
       1 c  All-purpose flour
     1/2 c  Turbinado sugar (regular
            Sugar can be substituted)
     1/4 ts Salt
     1/4 ts Baking powder
     1/8 ts Cinnamon
       8 tb (1 stick) butter or
            Margarine, softened
     1/4 c  Honey
     1/2 c  Warm water
  
   "These are slightly sweet crackers with a wonderful wheaty flavor. The
   crystalline turbinado sugar gives them a unique crunchiness. Perfect
   in a lunch bag or as an after-school snack, they are best next to a
   tall glass of cold milk. 375~F. 20 to 25 minutes Preheat the oven to
   375~F.
   
   Mix together the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a
   large bowl or in the food processor. Cut the butter into these dry
   ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Dissolve the
   honey in the warm water. Add this honey-water mixture to the flour
   mixture and blend to form a dough that will hold together in a
   cohesive ball.
   
   Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for rolling. On a floured
   surface or pastry cloth, roll the dough out to about 3/16 inch thick.
   With a sharp knife, cut into 2- by 3-inch rectangles. Prick each one
   all the way though in 3 or 4 places with the tines of a fork.
   
   Place the crackers on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking
   sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Turn and bake an additional 10 to 15
   minutes, or until light brown. Cool on a rack. Yield: 35-40.
   
   VARIATIONS: Put thin slices of banana or other fruit on top of some
   of the rectangles or dough pieces left over from cutting. They may
   take an extra 4 to 5 minutes to bake. These afterthoughts have a
   tendency to disappear first.
