In the meantime, I even found a supplier who carries it in bulk, so I bought 22 lb whole grains, and mill them myself. Though I usually only bake cookies for Christmas, we liked these so much that I'm going to bake them more often, too.Karin Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328101125789534921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1266479675389453667.post-62291983871695998202014-05-27T13:29:52.188-04:002014-05-27T13:29:52.188-04:00Yours looks so pretty, Karin!

Plötziade?

I had never used it before, but I heard from my German friends that it made a bit comeback. It doesn't have as much gluten as regular wheat, but tastes a bit nuttier.
