Partially-Sifted Flour Recipes

Apple Pie Muffins
These muffins are so moist and delicious! We may have eaten one or two even before they were cooled. The only thing that might make them better is a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

2¼ cups Partially Sifted Flour 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 1 egg 1 cup milk ½ cup melted butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 1½ cups packed brown sugar 2 cups chopped apples Topping: ½ cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup Partially Sifted Flour 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix together the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the egg, milk, melted butter, vanilla and brown sugar until sugar is dissolved.  Pour the wet mixture in with the dry and combine in the apples just until mixed. Spoon mixture into lined muffin tins. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Sprinkle generous amounts of topping onto each muffin. Bake for 20 minutes.

Chocolate Caramel Pie
So this might not be our healthiest recipe - whipping cream, butter, chocolate - but boy oh boy, it sure is delicious! Save this recipe for a special occasion. I think a Wednesday afternoon qualifies as special enough!

Crust 1 cup Partially Sifted Flour 3 tbsp sugar ½ tsp sea salt 1 tbsp cocoa powder ½ cup chilled butter, cubed 2 large egg yolks Caramel filling 1 cup sugar ¼ cup water ¼ cup heavy whipping cream ¼ cup butter, cubed 1 tsp vanilla ¼ teaspoon sea salt Chocolate ganache 2 cups heavy whipping cream 12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a tart or cheesecake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides. To make the crust, begin by blending together the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, sea salt and cocoa powder. Cut in the butter until mixture looks like oatmeal. Mix in 2 large egg yolks. Press the crust into the bottom of the pan and work up the edges. If needed, you can add a teaspoon of water to the crust mixture to help it stick. Bake for about 20 minutes. Take it out and let cool. To make the caramel filling, dissolve the sugar in the water in a sauce pan over low heat. Once dissolved, raise the temperature to medium-high and continue stirring until sugar caramelizes and turns amber. Be careful though, sugar burns easily. Once smooth, take off heat and stir in butter, vanilla and sea salt until mixture is smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before pouring into crust. To make the chocolate ganache, bring whipping cream to a slight boil. Whisk in the chocolate until melted. Cool mixture in fridge for 2-3 hours. Once cool, whip the ganache until thick. smooth mixture on top of caramel layer. To top it off, we melted chocolate and drizzled it on top and sprinkled a bit of sea salt. Cool the entire pie for a couple of hours before serving. Delicious!!

Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
These are my all time favourite cookies! Jeff claims that he doesn’t like them, but the dough sure keeps disappearing…

2/3 cup butter 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 1 ½ cup rolled oats 1 ½ cups Partially Sifted Flour 1 tsp salt 6 oz / 170g craisins (dried cranberries) 2/3 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Cream together butter, sugar and eggs. Mix together rolled oats, Partially Sifted Flour and salt. Combine dry ingredients to butter mixture a bit at a time. Finally, mix in the craisins and white chocolate chips. Spoon onto a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until nice and golden.

Best Ever Banana Muffins
So I didn’t believe my mother-in-law when she said that these were the best ever banana muffins… but they are!

3 lrg bananas ¾ cups sugar 1 egg 1/3 cup melted butter 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp slat 1 ½ cups of Partially Sifted Flour 1 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Mash bananas then mix in the sugar, egg, butter, baking soda and powder until gooey. Add in the Partially Sifted Flour. When combined, add in the chocolate chips. Fill greased muffins tins 2/3 full and bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Lemon Biscotti
Biscotti is the twice baked potato of the cookie world. It is first cooked like a loaf then sliced and baked again. This gives the cookie its dry texture which is perfect for dunking.

1 cup sugar ½ cup butter 2 tbsp lemon juice (the juice from 1 lemon) 2 tsp grated lemon peel 2 eggs 3 ¼ cups Partially Sifted Flour 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Bet sugar, butter, lemon juice, lemon peel and egg until smooth. Add in dry ingredients. Shape dough into two rectangles, each 10x3 inches. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Cut cookies into ½ inch slices and place back onto the cookie sheet with the just cut side down. Bake for 15 more minutes or until crispy and light brown.

Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Now, these cookies are so moist and chewy they’re almost like mini-loafs. Not to mention, they’re even tasty frozen!

1 cup sugar 2 medium bananas, mashed ¾ cup butter 1 egg 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats 1 cup Partially Sifted Flour ½ tsp salt ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat sugar, bananas, butter and egg in a large mixing bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop tablespoons of dough on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake
This recipe is so easy and quick,  not to mention pretty darn affordable to make. Honestly, I don’t even have to worry about wrapping up the leftovers because once Jeff smells the cinnamon in the house, there are none!

½ cup sugar ¾ cup milk 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tsp vanilla 1 egg 1 ¼ cup Partially Sifted Flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ cup sugar 1 tsp cinnamon (or more if you’d like lots – I always do!)

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, beat together the first ½ cup of sugar, milk, oil, vanilla and egg just until mixed. Add in the baking powder and Partially Sifted Flour.  Pour batter into a well-greased 8” baking pan. In a separate bowl, combine the other ½ sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle that mixture on top of the batter. Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar thorough the batter. When done, bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Perogie Dough
Jeff absolutely loves these perogies. Sadly, they are a rare commodity around our farm since it is a bit time consuming to make these little guys.

2 cups Partially Sifted Flour ½ tsp salt 1 egg ½ cup sour cream ¼ cup butter softened, cubed

Knead the ingredients together just until mixed – you don’t want the dough to get tough! Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before rolling out the dough. Roll the dough out on a slightly floured surface and use whatever is handy to cut circles – a can, a cup, a cookie cutter… Fill with your favourite filling such as mashed potatoes with cheddar and chives. Wet the edges of the dough and seal with a fork. Boil the perogies until they float and enjoy with a dollop of sour cream or freeze for another day.

Wheat Bran Cranberry Quickbread
This loaf recipe makes a delicious breakfast. We also sometimes bake it in muffin form for a quick breakfast on the go. You may also want to sprinkle to top with some raw sugar. It'll contrast nicely against the more bitter cranberries.  

½ cup Partially Sifted Flour 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour 1 cup Wheat Bran ¾ cup brown sugar 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda ½ tsp sea salt 1 egg ½  cup milk 1 cup orange juice 1/3 cup oil 1 cup cranberries ½ cup walnut pieces

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In large bowl mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Blend the two together just until mixed. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts. Pour batter in a greased loaf pan and bake for about an hour. Don't forget to let it cool before you start slicing in!

Wheat Berry Salad
This salad is an awesome alternative to pasta salad for a summer time picnic.

1 cup Wheat Seed ½ cup crumbled feta cheese 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts 3 tbsp black olives, pitted and halved Dressing: 2 tbsp lemon juice 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tbsp olive oil ¼ cup chopped fresh dill 3 green onions, sliced 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Rinse wheat seed and cover with water overnight. The next day, boil until soft – about 45 minutes then let cool. While the wheat is cooling, whisk together dressing ingredients and let set for an hour. Mix the cooked wheat seed, feta, pine nuts, olives and dressing together. The salad is best if it sits in the fridge for an hour or overnight first.
