• Jan. 27, 2006 - Whole Wheat Pancakes and Yeast Breads
I have really been enjoying my grain mill. Ever since I have read
about the healthy benefits of freshly ground flour, I have looked
forward to this day where I could actually accomplish this. I ran out
of meat and since I didnt want to run to the store before dinner
(I was planning on going tomorrow) I decided to have pancakes. I
think I have come up with an extremely healthy recipe. My father,
who was a chemist, loved to mess around in the kitchen and came up with
the original recipe. Here is my whole wheat healthy version:
2 cup freshly ground whole wheat flour (I used Hard Red Wheat)
2 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free)
2 Tablespoons raw honey
2 teaspoon real salt or celtic salt
2 eggs, organic range free
2 cups raw milk ( I even use 1 cup milk and 1 cup yogur, sour cream, buttermilk or kefir)
2 tablespoons Olive Oil or butter
Mix together and fry up for pancakes in some butter or olive oil. Top with Pure Maple Syrup
I thought these pancakes turned out very well (especially after I
realized I forgot to include the eggs and added them). It also
confirmed what I had suspected. I dont like the flavor of
yeast. I have been noticing it lately, especially in the wheat
bread I had made, but wasnt sure if it was the yeast or the whole
wheat. I liked the cookies (especially after I got used to their
taste, see Chocolate Chip Cookie Saga )
so I realized it must be the yeast I have been tasting. I wonder
if I cut down on the amount by a 1/2 tsp if it would make a difference,
I guess I am having to experiment with that.
