Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. In a food processor, combine the dry ingredients and pulse to mix. If you don't have a food processor, whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.

  3. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture becomes coarse. Make sure there are no large pieces of butter remaining. Alternatively, you can cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, two knives, or by rubbing the butter between your fingers.

  4. Add the milk and honey, and pulse until a dough forms. Alternatively, you can stir the mixture using a wooden spoon.

  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly rice-floured piece of 12x16 parchment paper.

  6. Pat the dough into a rectangle and lightly dust the top with rice flour.

  7. Place another piece of 12-by-16-inch parchment paper on top of the dough. Roll the dough out until it covers the entire paper, creating a rectangle that is about 1/8 inch thick.

  8. Carefully remove the top piece of parchment paper.

  9. Transfer the dough, along with the bottom parchment paper, to a 12 x 18 baking pan.

  10. Using a pizza wheel, score the dough into rectangles. For standard graham crackers, the rectangles should be 6 x 2 3/4 inches, and for a s'more size graham cracker, they should be 3 x

The Challenge of Finding Gluten-Free Snacks

One of the biggest challenges for anyone following a gluten-free diet is finding suitable snacks.

But fear not! With our gluten-free graham crackers recipe, you can indulge in a delectable snack that is safe for your tummy.

Graham crackers are beloved by many for their slightly sweet and crunchy texture. Our gluten-free version captures the essence of traditional graham crackers while being free from gluten.
