4 c. flour (fresh ground spelt, rise, barley or other)
2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
¼ t baking soda
¼ c. olive oil
¾ c. prepared millet or kiefer (amount not critical)
Enough milk to make medium soft dough. If dough gets too stiff, business will not be light. Turn on floured board. Roll over or flour three or four times. Do not knead. Flatten dough, cut with biscuit cutter. Turn each biscuit into oiled Pyrex dish. Bake at 450 degrees F. about 20 minutes, until brown.

Pancakes or Waffles
½ c. prepared millet (more or less)
3 c. fresh ground flour
1 t. baking powder
¾ t. salt
¼ t. baking soda

Cook on grill or waffle iron. If waffles, options are blueberries, pecans dropped on batter of each as you cook. Delicious.

Cooked millet can be added to any bakery recipe in the amounts of ½ cup, ¾ cup or 1 cup, depending on the size of the recipe. The results will be a more moist, slightly heavier product. It is especially good with home milled flours; wheat, spelt, barley, rice, etc.

James McDonald

1 1/2 cups millet flour
1/2 teaspoon vegetable stock
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons of kosher gelatin (substitute for 2 eggs)
1 pinch of sea salt
1 to 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce

If vegan is not desired add any stock, eggs and milk to recipe.

Slow Cooker Fruited Millet Cereal

1 quart water
1 t. salt
1 medium apple, peeled and diced
1 c. raisins
½ cup coconut, sweetened or unsweetened

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker and stir. Cover, set cooker on low heat and cook for 8 or 9 hours. Great treat to wake up to!
Variation: Toast the millet lightly before adding to the slow cooker. Watch closely, it burns easily. (To toast: in a fry pan with a little butter, heat and stir continuously until toasted). If you do not have an apple, you may substitute 1 c apple sauce.

1/2 cup nuts, ground
1 cup amaranth flour
1/2 cup arrowroot
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 or 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons lemon juice OR 2 teaspoons cream of tarter
2 tablespoons oil*

Grind nuts in blender about 15 seconds. Combine with other dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Without washing it, combine liquids in blender; blend 10 seconds (or mix in small bowl) and stir into dry mixture. Cook pancakes on preheated, ungreased, non-stick griddle or frypan.** When bubbly and brown, turn.*** As batter thickens you may need to add another tablespoon or two of water to keep cakes thin (should be no more than 1/4 inch thick). Yields 24 four inch cakes.

*Whenever possible coordinate oil with nuts, i.e. almonds and almond oil, walnuts with walnut oil or peanuts with peanut oil. With other nuts use safflower or sunflower oil.

**This formula does not do well on stainless steel surfaces; pancakes get torn in turning and pan is difficult to clean. Non- stick works best.

***If you want to use pancakes as flatbread, remove to wire racks to cool. When cold, stack, wrap, and refrigerate. May toast in a toaster oven or place on wire racks on cookie sheets in moderate oven for a few minutes. Make mini sandwiches; try sliced chicken or turkey garnished with mayo, lettuce and tomato. Excellent with peanut butter, too. Umm! Who misses bread now?
