Stone Ground Flours and Cornmeal
By Brendan Martin Coyne.
Before we venture outside, pancakes with local maple syrup are a snow day staple.
With the Plimoth Grist Mill so close to many, how can you not take advantage of local, stone-ground flour from a replica of a mill that was built in 1636?
Plimoth Grist Mill Grains, sold through Plimoth Patuxet, has several offerings ranging from whole wheat flour, cornmeal, and popcorn, to rolled oats, which are still made in a traditional fashion using a 200-year-old millstone that is powered by a water wheel that uses energy from the Town Brook.
Head over to www.Plimoth.com/collections/food to buy some locally stone-ground wheat flour and make homemade pancakes—if you are gluten-intolerant, the cornmeal will be a nice substitute for making homemade cornbread to go with that snow day beef stew!
