Ingredients:
3 c coarsely ground Joseph's Grainery Hard Red Wheatberries
1 c boiling water
1/2 c oil
1/2 c honey (or 1 c sugar)
2 eggs, beaten
2 c buttermilk
2 1/2 c flour (extra credit if you use flour ground from your Joseph's Grainery Wheat)
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c craisins, chopped
1 c walnuts, chopped
Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grind wheatberries to the consistency of cornmeal (A blender works well for grinding wheatberries, try grinding just 1/2 cup at a time - we used our small cuisinart food processor and that worked well too). Pour boiling water over the wheatberries and let sit awhile to soften them.
Blend honey (or 1 c sugar), oil, eggs and buttermilk, then add softened wheatberries. Add dry ingredients. Fold in craisins and walnuts.
Drop spoonfuls into greased or paper-lined muffin tins. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes 2 dozen.
