Gluten Free Graham Crackers*<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Ingredients<\/span>:
\n2+1\/4 cups gluten free flour mix (see below)
\n1\/3 cup packed brown sugar
\n2 teaspoons cinnamon
\n1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/2\u00a0 teaspoon salt
\n7 tablespoons COLD butter, margarine or shortening of your choice, cut into pieces
\n3 tablespoons cold water
\n3 tablespoons honey
\n1 teaspoon vanilla<\/p>\n

Topping Ingredients<\/span>:
\n1 teaspoon sugar
\n1 teaspoon cinnamon<\/p>\n

Directions<\/span>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mix together the gluten free flour mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda and salt.<\/li>\n
  • Work COLD butter into dry ingredients using a pastry blender, fork, (or even your fingertips) \u2018till thoroughly crumbly and all butter is incorporated.<\/li>\n
  • Mix the cold water, honey, and vanilla together. \u00a0Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork.\u00a0 If dough seems too dry, add a very little bit more cold water, just one teaspoon at a time.<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Place dough onto a large piece of plastic wrap, gather up, and shape into a rectangle.\u00a0 Cover completely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.<\/li>\n
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit your baking sheet with a little overhang for ‘handles.’\u00a0 For ease of rolling, cut a gallon size zip-top bag open along the sides (leaving bottom seam intact) so that it now opens flat into one long sheet.\u00a0 Since it is a little thicker than plastic wrap, it will make rolling the dough out much easier!<\/li>\n
  • Place parchment paper on your countertop and, when dough is chilled, divide in half and place one half onto the parchment paper.\u00a0 Cover with the plastic bag and roll the dough out to about\u00a0 1\/4 inch thickness, or thinner…depending on how thick you like your graham crackers.<\/li>\n
  • Using the parchment paper, lift the rolled-out dough right onto the baking sheet.\u00a0 Lightly cut into 2 inch squares (a pizza cutter works well for this!).\u00a0 Prick lightly all over with a fork and sprinkle with a little of the cinnamon topping.\u00a0\u00a0 Chill for 10 minutes.<\/li>\n
  • Preheat oven to 325 while dough is chilling.<\/li>\n
  • Bake for 14-15 minutes or until they start to brown on the edges.\u00a0 Sprinkle with a small amount of the cinnamon sugar topping IMMEDIATELY<\/strong> after taking from oven.\u00a0 You might want to run the pizza cutter back over your cut marks while still warm and loosen them. Let cookies cool slightly before transferring to cooling rack.<\/li>\n
  • Repeat the rolling, cutting, baking process with the second half of the dough.\u00a0 I used the same piece of parchment paper and the same plastic bag for rolling, too.<\/li>\n
  • Oh!\u00a0 Any too thin pieces or broken pieces can be saved and crumbled to make a gluten free crust!\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Gluten Free Flour Blend<\/span><\/strong> (makes enough for two batches)
    \n1 cup garbanzo +fava or sorghum or chickpea flour
    \n1 cup tapioca starch
    \n1 cup\u00a0corn\u00a0starch or potato starch or arrowroot<\/p>\n

    \u00bd cup millet, or amaranth or quinoa or oat flour
    \n\u00bd cup fine brown rice flour
    \n\u00be cup\u00a0almond flour<\/p>\n

    Whisk ingredients together until well blended.\u00a0 Use 2+1\/4 cups for this recipe and keep extra stored in the refrigerator until needed.<\/p>\n

    *This recipe was inspired by a similar one from Living Without<\/em><\/strong> magazine and website.\u00a0 They are a great resource for those with not only gluten allergies and sensitivities but other food allergies as well.\u00a0 You should check their website out!<\/p>\n
