I love to bake. I have my standard go-to recipes: chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, oatmeal cookies... sense a theme? This week I decided to try something different. Crackers. Graham crackers to be precise. I searched on-line for a recipe that was easy and for which I had all the ingredients. I found this recipe at Kitchen Simplicity and decided to give it a whirl.
Crackers need to be thin. That means a lot of rolling. I'm not very patient when it comes to baking, so this was a flawed plan.

My usual sidekick was cheering me along.

| My little helper! |
I scored them with a pizza cutter before they went in the oven, and they had to be re-cut when they were finished baking. If I do this again, I'll cut and separate before baking.

My crackers turned out to be kind of like graham cookies. A bit too thick. I didn't take enough time to roll the dough thin enough. Next time, I'll work in smaller batches

They taste just like graham crackers. It's pretty amazing!
 |
| They could be a bit thinner. |
They are a hit with the whole family and pair nicely with milk or a Scotch ale.
 |
| Regardless of their height, they are pretty tasty! |
