I had such a great time at this class! We had about 30 people total, the class was packed, but everyone had a chance to do everything from measuring the “Cal” used in the nixtamal process, to watching the kernels slowly turn to hominy, to grinding the fresh masa with Nadia’s 200-year old family heirloom stone grinder..: it was amazing! Plus we each got to sample two sweet and two savory tamales during class (it’s also BYOB!), as well as make several tamales 🫔 to take home for later. Very hands-on, very educational. Hats off to Nadia, Ariana, and Frida - thank you for such a wholesome, traditional experience!
We have been using BSM flour, cornmeal, and grits for a few years now and we love the product. We now use it exclusively and have referred many family and friends to Barton Springs Mill products.
My family loved the taste of the baked goods I made with the fresh milled flour from the Sonora Wheat Berries. The texture is good and they thought the taste was close to the unhealthy store bought processed flour that I used to use.
This is what my mom used...The second I took my first bite I was blown away and taken back to when my mom cooked homemade chocolate pies. The flour is easy to work with and I store in my freezer for longer use. My family doesn't have any digestive issues with any of my baked goods and it truly taste different - but like baked goods are supposed to taste.
Arrived with flour all over the bags. Giving these as gifts so I was disappointed.
Easy to work with for sourdough and delivers a great looking and tasty loaf!
Because of the holidays, I have not used everything but the flour and tge cornmeal are great!
I'm beginning to make all breads and baked goods because of this mill. All of its stone-round grains are healthy and delicious.
This was our first class at Barton Springs Mill, our first time visiting The Mill actually. We thoroughly enjoyed the class. Instruction was great, very much hands on and fun. After the course, the owner took us for a tour. Despite loving the class, the tour might have been the highlight. Seeing his passion in what they are doing is really inspiring.
These grits are delicious!! Fresh, and scrumptious. Our house hold only buys grains (wheat, corn, heritage) from Barton Springs. The quality is fantastic.
My flour arrived and was packaged securely.
. Can’t wait to start baking soon!
I have used many online videos trying to grasp a technique or learn a new recipe, nothing can give you the wealth of experience you get from this hands on learning environment that Barton Springs has created. so grateful for all they do!
Nice kit but two large bags of flour split and were all over the items in the box. Quite the clean up. Excited to get started with the process.
I've been milling my own wheat berries for almost 1 year now and really like the flavor and texture it adds to the bread..inter yecora rojo..amazing wheat varietal.the flavor for me is wonderful..love the texture and color it adds to my sourdough..I'm hooked!
I received the gift card. I forwarded the email to my daughter. Thanks for your promptness in sending the email.
I love make my sourdough bread with 30% of this amazing spelt. The flavor it's another level!!
I’ve been baking with butters gold for a little over a year, I bake 100% of the bread my family of 4 consumes. Every other week I do 2 loaves of sandwich bread, a batch of bagels and a couple dinner table loaves. I’ve made everything from
sourdough cinnamon rolls and pizza dough to hearty olive bread and focaccia. Butters Gold, a beautiful red wheat will give you a slightly darker crumb, a robust crust and hearty flavor not too strong, but not too subtle. I never use instant yeast, only my starter. One thing you need to know - Butlers Gold is THIRSTY. I go with roughly 80% hydration for a standard loaf. (60g starter - 400g warm water, 500g butlers gold, 9g salt).
This flour gives bakery products nice texstuture and smell.
I've never worked with Enkorn before this. I love the color and texture after milling. I made cookies and they never dried out or got stale. They were amazing! I will be ordering this agian.
I just used this cornmeal for a cornbread recipe. OMG! What amazing flavor. It is so fresh and delicious tasting. We loved the color also of our corn bread. If you have never purchased from Barton Springs before, I can tell you. I don’t purchase grains or flour(s) anywhere else. I refer everyone who is interested in cooking/baking with the best ingredients to Barton Springs.
Thanks for amazing products!!
I've used a variety of BSM flours for a few years now and have always been pleased with the flours, but I am on a personal slow-learning curve, so I'm sometimes hesitant to substitute when I don't want to take a chance on a different flour. With the holidays ahead I wanted to use BSM AP flour for my familiar recipes and when I saw the Limited Edition AP flour offered, I knew this was the one I wanted to use. What I really didn't expect was the truly wonderful flavor the flour added to the finished product - especially biscuits and possibly the best pie crust I've ever made. I also used the pie crust recipe provided on the BSM site, which added to the success of the crust. (Thank you BSM for continuing to add more recipes!) This flour was the only different ingredient used and it elevated the flavor. I'm so pleased with this flour and hope that the stars will continue to align so that it can be a regular offering!
BSM was not the first time I’ve used Einkorn flour, but when I accidentally ordered more than intended, I had to experiment and find some new uses! The nutty flavor is what makes Einkorn so good and naturally a little sweet; it makes excellent pancakes, muffins, and flatbreads. I even made a loaf of sandwich bread, but - be careful - that’s not what this one is ‘meant for.’ It’s a very light, airy flour, delicate enough that I used it for crepes, and not really substantial enough for a loaf of bread by itself.
