Home-made Graham Crackers

Here's how they turned out.

My sister, Wendy sent this recipe to me. When I make these again though, I'll roll the dough out thinner. These were thick graham crackers. I made chocolate frosting and made sandwhiches with them and stuck them in the freezer for a late night snack. Yum!
I think this recipe is worth sharing, so here ya go!

1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup milk
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt.

Cream shortening and brown sugar. Stir in vanilla. Combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir into the cream mixture alternately with milk. Cover and chill dough till firm. On lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 1/8" thick. Cut into rectangles. Place 1/2" apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake @ 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or till edges look golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
