Graham Crackers

1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. honey
1/4 c. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla
3 Tbsp. sugar, optional
1 tsp. cinnamon, optional


Combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.  Mix on low to incorporate.  Add cold, cubed butter and mix on low until consistency is of coarse meal.  In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, and vanilla.  Add to the flour mixture and mix on low until the dough comes together.  Divide in half and wrap in plastic.  Chill until firm, about 2 hours in the fridge or 20 minutes in the freezer.  Once chilled, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll each dough sheet into a long rectangle about 15"x10" and 1/8" thick.  Cut the dough rectangle into four columns and three rows.  Poke holes into crackers using a fork or toothpick.  Repeat with the second batch of dough.  Optional:  In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top before baking.  Bake for 15-20 minutes in a 350 degree oven.  Let cool for 10 minutes.
