Grains for the Use of Man

The Lord has told us in D & C that we must use grains for the health and strength of our bodies. If we listen to him we may prepare ourselves. Thanks, Sister Hays, for a wonderfully enjoyable night. We all left with high hopes of using our newly gained knowledge of how to use nutritious grains for our bodies’ sustained health. What a blessing!! Thank You!!

From the grains mix these flours:
5 lbs. Whole Wheat Flour
3 lbs. Soy Flour
2 lbs. Yellow Cornmeal
2 lbs. White Cornmeal
1 ½ lbs. Garbanzo Flour
2 lbs. Rye
2 lbs. Barley
1 lb. 8 oz. Oats
1 lb. 8 oz. Rice
Toasting keeps the grains preserved and gives them a heartier taste. Place grains in a large pan that you can put in the oven. Mix them all together with spoon. Bake 6 to 8 hrs. at 200 degrees. Cool & store in airtight containers. Take out any amount that you need to make any of these recipes.

Cereal
From mixed flours above you can make cereal. Just make as you would cream of wheat or malt-o meal. Place mixed flours in hot water and cook. You can also simply put the mixed flours in a blender with hot water if you like and blend until you get the right consistency. Add sweetner of choice and cinnamon, etc. Yum, Yum!!

Pancakes
Warm up milk and put in flour til the right consistency
1 cup flour
1/8 cup Bisquick
Could also use your favorite pancake recipe and add flour and bisquick (the bisquick has the baking soda/powder in it and makes for fluffier pancakes! Wala!!

Vegetable Soup
Combine Chicken Broth, Vegetable Broth or Beef Broth & vegetables of choice in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook til vegetables are tender or to your liking!!
Make paste by mixing flour mixture & water or broth together til lumps are gone and it is smooth. Add to broth and vegetables, stirring continually so as not to allow lumps to form and you get the right consistency. If too thick, just add more broth or water. If too thin just add more paste. Make as you would any white sauce.
Season to Taste

Gravy for Mashed Potatoes
Make paste with broth (whatever kind you like) and the flour mixture. Stir in saucepan til it thickens and is ready. Season to taste. Delicious over any mashed potatoes.
