Triticale Cookies

Author: Cameron K. and Alejandra A.

 

½ cup unsalted butter

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup and 1 Tbsp sugar

1 egg

2 Tbsp water

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1 + ½ cup Camas Triticale Flour

 

 

1.        Measure the dry ingredients: baking powder, baking soda, salt and Triticale flour in a medium size bowl.  Whisk to combine.

2.        In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar.  This may take 2-4 minutes with an electric mixer on low/medium speed.  The mixture should lighten in color.

3.        In a smaller bowl combine the water, vanilla, and egg and beat to combine.  Slowly add this to the creamed mixture until it is all incorporated.  Then increase the speed to medium/high and beat for an additional 3-5 minutes until it increases in volume and lightens in color.  Should look very fluffy and pale.

4.        Turn off the mixer and add the dry ingredients.  Fold in with rubber spatula or with the mixer on low until completely incorporated but no longer than 1 minute of mixing.

5.        Cover with the plastic, either turning the dough out onto plastic wrap or covering the bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes.

6.        Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Scoop the cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes for smaller cookies, (about the size of a golf ball), or 11-13 minutes for larger cookies.

7.        Allow to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.  Serve and enjoy!

Camas Country Mill Aebleskiver Mix

You will need: 2C of Aebleskiver Mix, 4 eggs separated, 2C milk, 4 Tbs unsalted butter melted, plus more for cooking.

Put 2C Aebleskiver Mix in a medium bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks, then whisk in the milk and the 4 Tbs melted butter.

Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the egg whites into the batter in two additions. Put 1/4 tsp butter in each well of the aebleskiver pan over medium heat. Heat until the butter begins to bubble. Pour 1 Tbs batter into each well. Optional to add 1 tsp of filling in the center of each pancake and top with 1 Tbs batter. If you aren’t using a filling, pour 2 Tbs into each well. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy – approx. 3-5 minutes. Using two wooden skewers, flip the pancakes over and cook until golden and crispy, about 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

2 large eggs
3/4 cups (150 g) sugar 
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

CCM Sourdough

*Prior to beginning, build your leaven with CCM Bread Blend flour. This recipe will require 150g of leaven that floats in water.

Ingredients:

150g leaven made with CCM Bread Blend

1000g CCM Bread Blend

700g water

Method:

Mix well into a rough dough. This is 100% whole wheat flour, so it takes a little longer to hydrate. Cover and let sit for an hour or longer at room temperature.

Add 25g salt and 50g water and mix thoroughly into dough. Cover and place in warm area.

Every 45 minutes, uncover the bowl, and, with wet fingers, reach underneath one side of the dough and pull it up onto the top of itself. Turn the bowl 1/4 turn and repeat until you have turned all four sides. Cover bowl and repeat timing and turning four more times. This takes 3-4 hours.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into three loaves about 630g each. Pre-shape them into balls, cover, and let rest 20 minutes. Shape into boules or batards and place them in floured proofing baskets. Cover and let rise in warm area about three hours, until roughly doubled.

Place a baking stone in the oven and preheat to 450F. Place a shallow pan in the shelf underneath for hot water.

When oven is at temp, put 1 C of hot water into the pan underneath the hot stone. Dust tops of loaves with flour and turn out onto a baker’s peel. Slash the tops at least once to prevent them from rupturing. Slide each into the preheated oven carefully.

When the loaves are loaded into the oven, lower the temperature to 375F and bake for 25 minutes, then rotate the loaves front to back and side to side.

Bake another 20-25 minutes, to an internal temperature of 200F. Remove from oven to a rack and cool for at least an hour before cutting!
