Graham Crackers

Graham crackers (aka Graham wafers) are flat, crisp wafers made from graham flour and sweetened, often with honey.

They are considered a sweet biscuit rather than a savoury biscuit or cracker.

You can buy the crackers already ground into crumbs.

Cooking Tips

To make crumbs, whiz in food processor or place between two sheets of waxed-paper or put in freezer bag and crush by rolling a rolling pin over them.

Substitutes

Digestive biscuits. Not the same thing (less sweet), but will do the same job and taste basically the same once ground up and used for pie crusts, cake bases, etc.

Equivalents

14 to 15 squares = 1 cup of crumbs = 100g / 3 ½ oz

Storage Hints

Freeze in freezer bags for up to 1 year.

History Notes

They were created by Sylvester Graham (1794–1851) in the 1830s. It is ironic that what he intended to be a glum, healthful food is now basically used as a cookie and for desserts.

See Graham Flour for more history.
