Graham Cracker

Graham crackers, in all their sweet, crunchy glory, often pose a handful of questions when it comes to cooking and baking with them. People often go wrong when they use graham crackers as a crust, overmixing or undermixing the crumb mixture, which can result in either a too-tough or a crumbly base. Another issue is the uneven distribution of the graham cracker crumb base, which can result in areas that are either too thick or too thin. To get the most out of graham crackers, don't forget to give them a good pulse in the food processor to achieve evenly sized crumbs, then mix them with just the right amount of melted butter for a perfect crust. Also, consider spicing things up with some additional flavors, like a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. And if you're in a pinch, graham crackers can be used as a quick and tasty thickener for soups and stews. For a lesser-known tips: try using graham crackers as a sandwich base for certain sweet fillings like cream cheese and fruit spreads. They can bring a unique twist to traditional sandwiches and make for a fun and tasty snack or dessert.
