What it is
These are sweet, lightly sweetened crackers made from graham flour. They have a distinct crisp texture and a mild, wholesome flavor. The crackers are typically baked to a golden brown and often come in rectangular shapes. They are a popular snack item enjoyed by many for their simple yet satisfying taste. The dough is usually made with a blend of flour, sugar, and leavening agents, resulting in their characteristic crunch.
