How to Make an Easy Graham Cracker Crust

It's so hard to make a graham cracker crust...smashing ingredients together, getting it to stick to the pan, the mess it makes! This recipe makes it all a lot easier!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Mixing bowl
• Oven
• 1 cup (4 ounces) Whole Wheat Flour or Whole
• Wheat Pastry Flour
• 1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup (3 ounces) honey

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar,
   salt, cinnamon and baking powder. In a second bowl, lightly beat egg, then add oil, honey and 2 tablespoons milk. Stir into dry ingredients until the dough is somewhat stiff. Add extra milk if necessary. Wrap dough in waxed paper and chill until firm, about 1 hour (or longer).

2. Turn the dough onto a heavily floured surface and knead gently until it holds together. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Be sure the rolling surface is well-floured or the dough will stick! Roll dough until it's about 1/16-inch thick but large enough to fill your pie plate.

3. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.Be careful to bake the right amount so that your pie crust is not doughy or too hard after you fill the pie with ingredients and bake the pie. Bake longer for no bake and pudding pies. Allow a shorter cooking time for long-cooking pies. Let cool fully before filling with pie ingredients. Voila! An easy, fast, clean graham cracker crust!
