hi y'all won't believe what I have in
0:12
the basket this is actually a graham
0:15
cracker not as you and I know it but the
0:18
way that they were made hundreds of
0:19
years ago I was asked to donate some
0:22
things for a bake sale for charity and I
0:24
said yes I'd be delighted to so I went
0:27
in search of the best flour that I could
0:30
find to make my items I found a 200 year
0:34
old mill that is still water powered and
0:36
grinds the meal and the flour on the old
0:39
stones I think you'll be amazed at how
0:42
it used to work so watch my old buddy
0:47
Ralph a renzo down at total town grist
0:50
mill always gives me his best I
0:54
understand that you have the oldest and
0:57
only operating water ground mill in the
1:00
state of New York is that right and I
1:02
say that right yes you did it it's a
1:05
stone grinding mill top-down mill and
1:07
it's the oldest continuously operating
1:09
water powered flour mill in New York
1:11
well take me inside and show me what
1:13
you've got ready for me together let's
1:15
go well I've taken out four different
1:17
kinds of flour two of them are ground
1:20
here that's the gram flour and this rye
1:22
flour what makes these flours better
1:24
because you grind them they're stone
1:26
ground it's grounded a little bit lower
1:28
temperature and when the temperature
1:30
rises when it's ground in a steel mill
1:33
that rise in temperature destroys a lot
1:36
of the nutritive value in the flour
1:38
so these retain most of that value
1:41
because the ground would stone our
1:42
graham cracker is made with a gram flour
1:45
our graham crackers are made with gram
1:47
flour and I have some here that I made
1:49
today for a sample for you
1:51
these are Tuttle town graham crackers
1:53
this certainly doesn't look like the
1:56
graham cracker that we know but it
1:57
doesn't add on a door and I can't wait
1:59
to sample it it's delicious
2:05
all Oh what are you making today stick
2:07
to your taste chocolate cookies that
2:08
call for graham cracker crumbs
2:10
and I'm making my grandmother Paul sour
2:12
cream pound cake well for the pound cake
2:15
you're going to need all purpose flour
2:16
and that's what we have right here and
2:19
for your graham cracker crust you can
2:22
use our total town grapes actually I'm
2:25

2:27
graham cracker that I can grind up and
2:28
