Graham Crackers

Cultural Context

Graham crackers originated in the early 19th century, created by Sylvester Graham as part of a health movement promoting vegetarianism and whole grains. They became a staple in American households, often used in desserts like s'mores and pie crusts. Today, they are enjoyed globally in various forms, from snacks to baking ingredients, embodying a blend of health and indulgence.

7

Cut the rolled dough into squares or rectangles using a knife or pizza cutter.
