Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/3 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In your food processor, pulse the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder together until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the dough is the consistency of coarse crumbs.
- Add the honey, molasses, and sugar, and process until combined. Add the milk and vanilla, and process until the mixture comes together to form a stiff dough. If it’s crumbly, add a splash of milk; if it’s too wet, add a little flour.
- Lightly grease or line two baking sheets with Silpat mats. On a floured work surface, cut the dough in half, and shape both halves into rectangles.
- Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a bigger rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. If the dough sticks to the counter, sprinkle it with some more flour.
- Using a knife or a fluted pastry cutter, trim the edges of the dough rectangle to yield neat crackers, and cut into approximately 3-inch squares. Lightly prick the dough with the tines of a fork.
- Using a spatula, carefully transfer the crackers to the prepared baking sheets. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and any leftover scraps.
- Place baking sheets in the freezer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the chilled dough for 18 to 20 minutes, until the crackers are just a little bit browned at the edges. Remove from the baking sheets and cool completely on wire racks.
