Grain Mills

I've been enjoying the podcasts and information on GNOWFGLINS.com

Last week's podcast was about grain mills. Very informative if you are considering one for your home.

Snickerdoodles

A classic home-made cookie. The original recipe came from a very dear friend…Nancy. I've teaked it a bit to all butter and sometimes use part whole-wheat pastry flour.



Cream together:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs

Mix into creamed mixture:
Up to 3 cups flour
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt

Shape into balls 1 - 1 1/2" diameter. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. We like lots of cinnamon, hence my mix is heavy on cinnamon and light on sugar. Bake at 400°F for 8 - 10 minutes. Remove to cooling rack.
