Grape Nuts
Ingredients
- 3 cup graham or whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1 cup brown sugar or 3/4 cup corn syrup
- 2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Spread the dough on 2 large greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Crumble by one of these methods: 1. While stil warm, break into chunks and grate on a coleslaw cutter or whirl briefly in a blender, about a cupful at a time, or, 2. Allow to cool thoroughly, then put through a food grinder with a coarse plate. After crumbling with either of the above methods, crisp in a 250 degree oven for 20-30 minutes and store in an airtight container. Eat with milk, no sugar needed. An option for a different taste is to increase the flour by 1/2 cup and omit the wheat germ.
