Join us for a brunch showcasing our beautiful ancient grains! Over the course of this four hour class we will make German pancakes using Einkorn flour along with a hearty porridge utilizing our Spelt berries and finger sandwiches encased in a scrumptious bread using our Emmer flour.
Ancient grains date back nearly 10,000 years! Mostly unchanged over the last hundred years these nutritionally rich grains are seeing a resurgence. We invite you to come taste the difference these grains can make to your bakes. Our Education Co-director, Nadia will walk you through recipes, answer all your questions, and guide you through a culinary journey all in the span of a Sunday brunch. There will be an array of spreads to top our baked German pancakes, a delicious porridge with tasty additions that will replace your favorite oatmeal breakfasts. Lastly, Emmer finger sandwiches will provide a savory balance to our brunch.
During this class, Nadia will:
- Talk about what it's like to use Barton Springs Mill Ancient Grains (we will use all 3 varietals offered at the mill)
- Give hands-on experience with Ancient Grains.
- Prepare pancakes, porridge and a pan loaf for our brunch spread.
- Lead you through the proper cook and preparation for your brunch!
After you've gone through these steps, we will have a nutritional brunch for you, complete with fresh Einkorn pancakes, Spelt porridge, Emmer finger sandwiches and some other tasty accompaniments.
Whether you're new to the history and current applications of ancient grains, or want to make the switch from commercially produced flour to stone-milled, we'd love to see you in class. ALL levels are welcome, and we're so excited to see you!
Things to look forward to:
- Learn the difference between stone-milled and store-bought flours
- Have an opportunity to work with our own fresh ancient grain flours, stone-milled right here at Barton Springs Mill
- Pancake Toppings Bar! Syrup! Jams! Butter!
- Coffee & Juices (a.k.a. mimosa accoutrements)
- Tour the mill
- Purchase BSM products at a special one-time discount
About your instructor & BSM Education Center Co-Director, Nadia Rodriguez:
I got my culinary degree in 2018 but have been working in the culinary industry for 10 years now, with both savory and pastry experience. My passion for cooking started early with my grandmother, and I believe cooking is sharing love. I adore Italian, Asian and Latin cuisines but honestly love all the foods of the world. I love to curate flavors for individuals and make something unique and one of a kind. Sharing the knowledge I have gained and showing how amazing ingredients such as Barton Springs Mill flour and the attitude you bring toward those ingredients can truly transform food into an experience. My ethos is to have fun, do it with love, and you can't go wrong. :)
BYOB is fine by us for participants 21+ 🍻
