Graham Crackers

Ingredients

• 1 quart Graham flour
• 1 tablespoonful Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoonful Salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoonfuls Baking powder
• 2 tablespoonfuls Butter (Originally lard. Substituted with butter for modern preference.)
• 1/2 pint Milk

Instructions

1. 1Sift together Graham flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and mix until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
2. 2Flour a clean work surface. Turn out the dough and knead well for 5 minutes. Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
3. 3Cut the dough into small envelope-shaped crackers. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Handle carefully while hot.
4. 4Let the crackers cool completely. Store in an airtight container for later use.
