Homemade graham crackers
Have you ever considered making your own graham crackers? I hadn’t, but they sound delicious.
As Nic writes, “Some foods are so often produced commercially, I think we forget that someone made them in a kitchen to begin with.” Of course, what those foods are depends on the “we”. I’ve known folks who were amazed that I made my own tomato sauce for pasta.

I was 12 when I learned they had boxed mixes for brownies. I was 15 when I found out about jarred gravy, and I’m still traumatized by that one. Some things just shouldn’t *be*.

I occasionally take a moment in the supermarket to stand and gape at the jars of gravy.

i used to always make my own crackers (not graham) because i found they tasted less like salt and more like… flour? like cracker. the ones i made were also thicker, less breakable, and wre better for dip (cheese! peanutbutter!)
i stopped when i bought my first box of TLC, tasty little cracker. they are better than i can make. seriously.
sometimes i have to admit defeat.
i’m up right now because i’ve just finished making my own apple pie (homemade crust!) and a pumpkin one too, but i lent out my other pie dish, so my pumpkin pie is a square.
i love baking. cooking, however, i get more frustrated with since everything has to be ready and done at the same time.

where is there a recipe for graham crackers — I live in Australia and they don’t ‘sell’ them here!
I’d love to make s’mores for my daugther! Plus I love graham crakers!

Ollie, you’ll find a recipe for graham crackers if you follow the link that I posted in the body of this entry. You just need to scroll down in the linked page a bit to find it. It’s an amended version of this recipe.

I love s’mores!
But i’m from australia so we don’t sell graham crackers,
would normal crackers work the same or not?
up until nw i had just used regular crackers and they tasted great!
but i’m sure graham crackers would taste a lot better!
