Homemade S'mores - Part 1

Meet Nugget. Our puppy pooch, a labradoodle just 4 months old. She likes graham crackers.










 



Can you tell? See how excited she was when I told her what I wanted make... Bah, more for me!
Cut 7 tablespoons butter into 1 inch chunks and pop in the freezer.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.













Add 1 cup packed dark brown sugar. But I ran out of brown sugar so I just mixed 1 cup white sugar and 2 tablespoons molasses in a medium bowl. Stir it all together. Ditch the rubber spatula and go with a fork... believe me it. Do it.








... Yes. That is a beer in the background. I'm on vacation and loving it.

Add in 1 teaspoon baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Blend it all quickly in the mixer. Then toss in the butter that has been shivering in the freezer. Mix on low until crumbly....






Meanwhile in a medium bowl whisk together 1/3 cup honey, 5 tablespoons milk and 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract until smooth.


















Slowly pour honey mixture into mixer bowl while beating on low just until well combined.

Dust flour on a sheet of wax paper. Turn out dough on wax paper. Press into a rectangle with floured hands to about 1 inch thick.




Wrap and refrigerate overnight or until firm... then go snuggle with the most delicious thing in the house.... a puppy with bed head!

Stay tuned for part 2 - making marshmallows and baking graham crackers
