MOLINO MILLS RECIPES

Recommended Posts

Does anybody besides me remember Molino Mills?  Back in the day they were a go-to source for 'health food' (whole grains, sprouting seeds, soy beans, other vegetarian specialities) and were famous for their wonderful recipes.  Where else could you find directions for making a chiffon cake with whole wheat flour?  They are long gone, BUT I ran across one of their recipe books while digging around in out of print books & magazines.  Some of the ones I found most unusual/interesting one are below.  As I copied them to save to my archives I thought maybe sharing was in order...

 

CANNING WHEAT (I had this in my archives but for the life of me could not find out where it came from....Lo and Behold!  Here 'tis!)

Place 3/4 cup Red Cereal Wheat (listed in their ingredients section as hard Montana & North Dakota spring wheat)  in a pint jar.  Add 1/3 tsp salt and fill the jar with boiling water to within 1 inch of the top.  Adjust the lid, place in pressure cooker and process 1 hour at 10 pounds pressure.

If you want a QUICK, NOURISHING BREAKFAST this is it.  Once a week while preparing dinner, put on the steamer and cook enough grain for the week.  Store unused portion in jars in refrigerator.  Re-heat a little as needed for cereal or add to other dishes.  for variations at breakfast, keep jars of several different steamed grains ready to reheat.

=          =          =          =

 

MILLET CASSEROLE

Saute 1 onion and 3 stalks celery.  Brown 1 pound ground beef and add dash of garlic salt.  Add 1 cup of Hulled Millet (may be browned first).  Place in baking casserole dish and mix in the following: 1 can mushroom soup, 2 cans water, 1 can mushrooms, 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 tsp MSG (OPTIONAL), 1/2 cup hulled sunflower seed.  Bake 1 hour at 300 degrees F.  Alkaline forming & easily digestible.

=          =          =          =

 

POTATO FLOUR GRAVIES

Stir potato flour into the hot fat before adding water or milk.  It browns quickly and imparts a fine flavor to the gravy.  Brown rice flour, gluten flour, rice polish or whole wheat flour also make excellent gravies.  Generally use 4 TB flour to each int of liquid.

 

 

They also had a section of wheat free recipes....for example: 

 

BANANA SPICE CAKE

2 1/2 c brown rice flour, sifted

1 tsp vanilla

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp soda

3/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp cloves

2 eggs

1 1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 1/2 c (around 4) ripe bananas

1/2 c oil

1 1/4 c brown sugar

3 TB sour cream

Sift together: flour, baking powder, soda, salt and spices.  Add oil to sugar gradually; stir in eggs one at a time.  Next add sour cream and vanilla.  Add mashed bananas alternately with flour.  Pour into 2 well greased 8 inch layer cake pans  Bake at 375 F for 25 min or until done.

 

And last but not least, it had info on making your own mock meats from gluten as cutlets, steaks, roasts, patties, mock meatloaf and the like.  

 

If anyone is interested I can type them up - there are a lot of them!  I don't know if those who must avoid wheat would have an interest in rice flour pie crusts, waffles & such or if they already have recipes....

 

For right now though, I'm going to sleep its 3 am.....

BAKING DESSERTS WITH WHOLE WHEAT RECIPES FROM THE EL MOLINO MILLS COOKBOOK (ABOVE)

 

I tried to get most of the typos found and corrected but you might still find a few.  I do have a tendency to type about wheat berm instead of germ.....

 

CHIFFON CAKE (makeover)                                                WHOLE WHEAT CHIFFON CAKE

     before                                                                                          after

2 1/4 cups flour                                                                    2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 1/2 cups sugar                                                                   1 cup brown sugar

3 tsp baking powder                                                           1/2 cup skim milk powder (non-instant)

1 tsp salt                                                                                3 tsp double acting baking powder

1/2 c oil                                                                                  1 tsp salt

8 unbeaten egg yolks                                                          1/2 cup oil

3/4 cups cold water                                                             8 egg yolks

2 tsp vanilla                                                                           3/4 cup skim milk or orange juice

grated rind of 2 lemons                                                      2 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp cream of tartar                                                       grated rind of 2 lemons or oranges

                                                                                                8 egg whites

                                                                                                1/2 tsp dream of tartar

 

Sift dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, skim milk powder, baking powder, salt).  Add remaining ingredients (except egg whites) and beat until smooth.  Fold in beaten egg whites last and put into a large tube pan.  Bake at 350 F for 1 hour.  Makes a large cake.

Variations:

1)  Replace 1 c whole wheat pastry flour with 1 c carob powder.

2)  Replace 1 c whole wheat pastry flour with 1 c El Molino Muffin Mix.

3)  Replace white flour in recipe with an equal amount of pastry whole wheat flour.

4)  Replace white sugar with dark brown sugar or with the same amount of honey using slightly less liquid.

5) Replace about 1/2 c sugar with 1/2 c powdered skim milk.

6) In any recipe calling for chocolate, replace with carob powder; also replace about 1/3 of the flour with carob powder.

7) Grated lemon rind adds flavor to cakes with Carob Powder.

8) Replace 1/2 to 1 cup flour with any of the following: wheat germ flour, wheat germ, soy flour, brown rice flour, hulled sunflower seed meal, El Molina Muffin Mix, rice polishing, rice bran, etc.

9) In all kinds of carob powder cakes and spice cakes, the replacement of 5% of the wheat flour with potato flour greatly improves the taste and texture of the cakes and keeps the cuts from becoming dry.  Soya flour has the same effect.

Dear FEMBFL,  

(Fellow El Molino Bran Flake Lover)

I fondly remember buying those orange boxes of El Molino Bran Flakes way back when I was in high school (79-81).  There was a recipe for Bran Flake Muffins on the box.  I’ve been searching for that recipe for years.  It was very simple.  Something like: 3 eggs, 3 tbsp. oil, 3 tbsp. of molasses, and water.  The orange box became a brown canister in the 90s, and still had the recipe, (which is not in the EMBF cookbook.  I took the recipe for granted and now I lay awake a nights, craving my muffins.  If you have any helpful information, I would greatly appreciate it.

I cooked these regularly for my family. This is the recipe printed on the box of El Molina bran flakes which I cut out.

BRAN MUFFINS

1 cup El Molina Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup El Molina Bran Flakes

1 egg

3 tablespoons molasses

3 tablespoons oil

1 cup milk

 

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together. Add Bran Flakes. Beat egg, add molasses, oil and milk.Add dry ingredients and mix only enough to moisten flour. Fill oiled muffin pans 2/3 full. 
 

Bake for 15 minutes or until done. Makes 8 medium muffins. For variation, 1 cup of rains or chopped dates may be added.
