W...That price is without sweetener, toppings, etc.<br /><br />Wheat is about 2 1/2 times what you paid for it right now.<br /><br />A pound is equal to 2 cups of flour according to what I've read and that recipe is for 1 cup=1/2 a pound, so my estimate was for what the price of wheat would be for me now- .72 per lb.<br /><br />On the recipe I noted that I ground as per flour, but that I personally liked a coarser grind on this. If it's too doughy tasting for your family, I would try adding cream and/or milk powder.<br /><br />I hope it's a winner! And my guess is that every grain would work similar to this if in berry form and ground :)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233687597289743076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776534327194644672.post-51391831832467953212014-01-29T15:43:51.808-06:002014-01-29T15:43:51.808-06:00I was just talking to my husband about this earlie...I was just talking to my husband about this earlier this week, and then I saw your rye post and thought about it some more.<br /><br />When you're figuring .34, is that minus toppings or with toppings? I figured .22 for the whole pot of oatmeal once but I want to refigure; I found a less expensive source for oats ($14.78 for 25 pounds).<br /><br />What price are you paying for wheat? Is this ground on the finest setting or did you buy flour?<br /><br />I ground flour yesterday and I have been thinking about this for days--making homemade cream of wheat and polenta. <br /><br />It's been many years since I bought my wheat and I'm trying to remember what I paid per pound. I think .33 a pound at the time. It has gone up so much since then.<br /><br />I was wondering if it is a coarser grind for wheat so that it doesn't come out tasting like dough. Perhaps that is just the larger amount of water to flour?<br /><br />I am definitely testing this out tomorrow morning! I have some apples we can use to top ours.<br /><br />Your photos are lovely.<br /><br />BrandyThe Prudent Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13229771550830911638noreply@blogger.com
