Introduce the recipe and ingredients for old-fashioned cinnamon graham crackers.

Measure 2 cups of whole wheat flour and add it to a mixing bowl.

Add 1/3 cup of unrefined whole cane sugar (or Sucanat/Rapadura) to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of fine ground salt to the dry ingredients and whisk together.

Cut 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter into cubes and add it to the dry mixture.

Using clean hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles sand.

Add 1/3 cup of pourable honey and a splash of milk as needed to moisten the dough until it is malleable.

Mix until a dough forms, ensuring it holds together but isn't too sticky.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the dough into squares or rectangles and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops of the crackers with milk and sprinkle with white sugar for topping.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
