Thank you for this video!! I’ve been binge watching all things home milling whole wheat berries and other grains. I’m working on getting all the tools together.
@ I don’t have a grain mill yet but I do have a powerful 700g spice/grain grinder that I’m going to use until I can get a grain mill. I’m hoping it will work well enough. I will be joining your grainies membership soon!
Goodmorning Felicia I only use shortening for emergency candles lol…I do render beef tallow and lard these days avoiding most vegetable oils …I’m assuming either one of those would work? Changing to whole grains later in life but so far so good..thanking you so much for your passion and dedication to help all those who need it …given so freely and thanking your family for sharing you with us as well..stay blessed …
@ yes! You MAY be able to taste it slightly! If you can get your hands on leaf lard which is the fat around organs, it has a significantly more mild taste and is best used in pies, cookies, any type of baking really
I make oatmeal cookies, all the time for my husband and just a tip we looove is one cup of dark chocolate chips, and one cup of raisins that hits the spot 👌🏻
Those look delicious. I do have grain arriving tomorrow. Haven’t ordered a grain mill yet. I just watched your video on Oates. Good to learn 0:38 they are not as long lasting for storing.
@@GrainsandGrit well I was planning on oat groats with the attachment for kitchen aid Wheat berries coming tomorrow but will place a smaller order for oat groats
You read my mind. I was wanting a recipe like this. Love your videos and your channel and I look forward to all of your releases. Thanks! ALSO, CAN'T FIND THE LINK TO THE SHORTENING. ?
Oh shoot I forgot that! I knew I was forgetting something. Here you go: www.amazon.com/dp/B000WDPBV8/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_9ACA2Q2Q75AE4A0CFMNN?linkCode=ml2&tag=grainsandgr0a-20
Good morning Felicia. I have a dessert recipe that I’d like to convert to freshly milk and I know that I use soft white wheat but how do I convert? It? Thank you for all that you have done and taught us throughout the years and I cannot wait for your book to come out. I’m so excited.
Trial and error lol But a general rule of thumb is for every 3-4 cups of all-purpose flour called for in a recipe you MAY need to increase the soft white wheat flour by 1/2 a cup. This isn't a set-in-stone rule, but I have found it generally to be true with cookies :-)
I am looking into getting an oat flaker. I have a Kitchenaid mixer. Do you know if the Messerschmidt attachment is a good one? I also looked at Mock Mill's Flake Lovers Flaker. Do you recommend one over the other and why? Thank you so much.
I have the Messerschmidt for my Bosch and it works fine. I do have to baby it a little bit because sometimes grains get a little stuck and I just have to move them around to feed them through again. But it gets the job done 😀
I made these today. I added raisins and pecans! They are SO good!

Woo hoo! So glad you're starting your milling journey :-)

Love the raw cookie dough tip 😉 made me smile. Def gonna try the recipe. Thanks for the encouragement ☺️
lol very important information!
I use oat flour in my oatmeal cookies. Just grind some oat groats into flour and use that instead of whole wheat. It really tastes good.
Yes that'll work too, the texture is just different. Probably a lot smoother of a texture?
Can’t wait to give this a try
You'll love it :-)
I cannot wait to make these!!
Thanks for the recipe. Can I use coconut oil in the place of the shortening?
No need for reply. I found the answer on your recipe.
Of course you can. Never ever you shortening.

I have the same philosophy about shortening! I'm going to try these with tallow and see what happens ..
I use lard in pretty much everything that calls for oils or shortening!
I have used lard in this recipe with no problem BUT, you may be able to taste it a teensy bit. I think it depends on the quality of your lard though.

@@kelleyleblanc5025 thank you every day is a learning process thank you LORD for my inquisitive nature…
I make oatmeal cookies, all the time for my husband and just a tip we looove is one cup of dark chocolate chips, and one cup of raisins that hits the spot 👌🏻
ooooo how have I never tried adding in chocolate chips?!?! Brilliant!!!
I thought about adding chocolate chips in addition to the raisins and pecans . . .

Anything shelf stable probably isn't very good anyway.
@@GrainsandGrit well I was planning on oat groats with the attachment for kitchen aid
Wheat berries coming tomorrow but will place a smaller order for oat groats
Good stuff. If I didn’t say it yet, congratulations on your channel’s growth. Not sure but I think it was around 3,000 when I started watching
Wow, thanks for sticking around so long! :-)
Those cookies look fabulous 🎉 gonna make those goodies, OH YHEA!
You’ll love them!
Could you use coconut oil for the shortening?
