HONEY GRAHAM CRACKERS

     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)
     1/2 cup   butter
     2 cups    graham flour
     1 tsp     baking powder
     2 Tbsp    brown sugar
     1/2 tsp   ground cinnamon
     1/4 cup   honey
     1         egg, beaten
     1/4 cup   hot water

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.  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 1/8 inch thick. Place on
               ungreased baking sheet.  Score dough into 2-inch
               squares, using a sharp knife.

          (3)  Bake at 350 deg. F 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
     preparation, 20 minutes cooking and cooling.  Precision:
     measure the ingredients.
