"Perrenial childhood favorites, graham crackers may be made with whole
wheat flour or with the slightly coarser graham flour. Since whole grain
flours are more perishable than refined products, they should be kept in
the refrigerator or freezer."

Preheat oven to 375. In a md bowl, beat butter, sugar, and egg together
until smooth and creamy. In a small bowl, stir together the milk and baking
soda, then add them to the butter mixture. Add the honey and stir to
combine. Add 1 One half cup whaet flour, the all purpose flour, and the salt, and
stir until the mixture roms a dough,adding up to One half cup more wheat flour if
the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball and divide it into 4
portions.

Liberally dust a bakin ghseet with whole wheat flour. Place one portion of
the dough on the baking sheet and roll it out to a rectangle roughly 9X4
One half inches, then use a ruler to trim it to the exact measurement. With a
knife, score the dough, without cuttin gall the way through, into eight 2
One fourth inch squares. Prick each square with the tines of a fork, or mark it
(do not cut all the way through) with a small cookie cutter.

Bake the crackers for 1012 minutes, or until golden. Cool the crackers on
the baking sheet for 23 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a rack to
