Recipe for "graham-crack"

NAME

     GRAHAM-CRACK - North American crackers  with  graham  flour,
     honey, and cinnamon
      I originally got this recipe from a  newspaper  and  played
     around  a  bit until I thought it tasted like Sunshine Honey
     Grahams.  I've occassionally used ordinary whole wheat flour
     when  I  didn't  have  any  graham flour and it still worked
     alright. Graham flour is coarser.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 36-40)

     60 g      butter
     250 g     graham flour
     5 ml      baking powder
     30 ml     brown sugar
     2.5 ml    ground cinnamon
     90 g      honey
     1         egg, beaten
     60 ml     hot water

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Preheat oven  to  175  deg.  C.   Using  a  pastry
               blender or two knives, cut butter into flour until
               mixture has the texture of cornmeal.  Stir in bak-
               ing powder, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Add egg and
               hot water and mix until well blended.
          (2)  Knead dough 2 or 3 minutes.  Set half aside.  Roll
               out  into  a  square  about  3  mm thick. Place on
               ungreased baking sheet.   Score  dough  into  5-cm
               squares, using a sharp knife.
          (3)  Bake at 175 deg. C for 10 minutes or until lightly
               browned.   Roll  out  and  bake  remaining half of
               dough.  Cool baked crackers  and  gently  separate
               into squares.

RATING

     Difficulty: moderate (judgment required).  Time: 10  minutes
