Graham Nuts Recipe
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick), melted
- 1 cup graham flour
- 1/3 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cold milk, for serving (optional)
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Brush all of the butter evenly over a baking sheet; set aside.
- Sift the flours, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl, pouring any bits remaining in the sifter back into the bowl; set aside.
- Place buttermilk, honey, and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until combined.
- Scrape batter onto the prepared baking sheet and, using a rubber spatula or metal offset cake spatula, spread evenly across the entire surface of the sheet.
- (The more evenly the batter is spread, the more evenly the cracker will bake.)
- Bake for 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Using kitchen shears, cut off any dark or dry areas of the cracker and set them on a rack to cool.
- Lower the oven to 250 degrees F and return the baking sheet to the oven.
- Every 15 to 20 minutes, cut off the dark or dry areas of the cracker, placing them on the cooling rack.
- While you are doing this, cut up the rest of the cracker into smaller pieces to dry them out.
- Continue baking until the cracker is mahogany brown and entirely dry, about 55 to 60 minutes total.
- Remove from the oven and transfer remaining pieces to the cooling rack.
- Prepare a food processor with a large-holed grater attachment.
- Once the crackers are cool, break into pieces small enough to pass through the feed tube of the food processor and grind them.
- (Alternatively, place the pieces in two layers of resealable plastic bags and crush with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about the size of peppercorns.)
- Serve with a pitcher of cold milk.
- The graham nuts will store in an airtight jar for up to 1 month.
