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 flower that I
0:29
could find to make my items i found a
0:33
two-hundred-year-old meal that is still
0:35
water powered and grinds the meal and
0:38
the flour on the old stones I think
0:40
you'll be amazed at how it used to work
0:42
so watch
0:46
my old buddy Ralph a Renzo down at total
0:49
town gristmill always gives me his bed I
0:54
understand that you have the oldest and
0:57
only operating water ground meal in the
1:00
state of New York is that right and I
1:02
made 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 today sure let's
1:14
go well I've taken out four different
1:18
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 flowers better
1:24
because you grind them their 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 so
1:38
these retain most of that value because
1:41
the ground wood stone our graham cracker
1:43
is made with a gram flour our graham
1:46
crackers are made with gram flour and I
1:48
have some here that I made today for a
1:50
