Graham Crackers
1 cup butter
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1½ teaspoons baking soda
½ cup sweet milk
Graham flour, sifted
Cream butter; add eggs and sugar. Dissolve baking soda in sweet milk and add to creamed mixture. Stir in enough graham flour to make a stiff batter. Roll out thin and cut into squares.
Bake at 350°F. for 12 to 15 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
Editor’s note: Graham flour is similar to wheat flour, but it’s slightly coarser.
Unsifted whole wheat flour can be substituted, but the texture of the crackers will be slightly different.
