Whole-Wheat Pancakes

Recipe submitted by April R. --our Saturday morning special!

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole- wheat flour (White wheat is best)
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
2 Tbsp oil

Mix ingredients together (I like to mix wet first and then add the dry to it). Cook in a skillet or griddle and use your favorite topping.

We no longer use white flour with this recipe anymore. We have slowly over the years added more and more wheat flour until we weren’t using white flour. These are DELICIOUS! Even hungry teenage boys who devour great amounts of food can’t eat too many of these. They are so filling, yet not too heavy.

Wheat Muffins

Recipe submitted by April R.

4 cups whole-wheat flour
½ tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
¾ cup brown sugar (or ½ c. honey)
1 ¼ cups milk (or 1/3 cup powdered milk + 1 ¼ cup water)
½ cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs

Mix dry ingredients together. If you use powdered milk, mix it with flour mixture. Combine liquid ingredients in separate bowl. Add to dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Spoon into greased muffins tins and bake at 350 degrees for 15 min. (you can add 3-4 mashed bananas or raisins)

CRUNCHY WHEAT CEREAL

Recipe from Mesa Home Storage Center

Makes approximately 5 cups cereal and 2 cups crumbs

6 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups buttermilk (may rehydrate shelf-stable buttermilk solids *)

Mix ingredients thoroughly. Press or roll evenly to fit two un-greased cookie sheets.

Bake at 350' F. until golden brown around the edges. Turn over with spatula.  Break into small pieces and return to 200' oven to dry out thoroughly.

Grind chunks in food or meat chopper on course blade. Put ground chunks in strainer and sift out small granular pieces. Larger pieces may be used for cereal and casseroles. Finer pieces may be used as you would graham cracker crumbs for pie crusts and other desserts.

*Note--This product is sold in the shelf-stable/powdered milk section at your local grocery store by brand name of "Saco Cultured Buttermilk Blend"

2 cups chopped nuts or seed (e.g. walnuts, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds)
5 cups rolled oats
2 2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup dried fruit (e.g. raisins, cranberries) (optional)

Preheat over to 225 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil.  Spray with non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats and nuts. Set aside.

Spread the granola onto the baking sheet. Bake about 30 minutes.  Do not over bake! Granola is easy to burn! Remove from heat before the mixture turns brown.

When the mixture comes out of the oven, it is still very pliable. You may choose to add in dried fruit as a finishing touch at this time.  When granola has cooled completely, store in an airtight container.
