Wheat Patties

Tongith I’m making wheat patties from Wheat Cookin’ Made Easy. It’s cooked cracked wheat and oats mixed with onion and fried like a burger! Potatoes with butter & cheese on the side. I have some beef soup gelatin I made from beef knuckles & water to mix in to flavor it.

I am going to time this dish! This seems perfect for days when you are out of cooked wheat berries.

cracked wheat and peanut butter

ownedby1kitten1cat — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:48:54 +0000

I cracked wheat and groats, added brown sugar and a dash of cinammon and toasted them for 15 minutes. They were too small to eat without making a huge mess. I wanted a crunchy snack but wasn’t sure how to make them stick together. I melted peanut butter and butter in the mircrowave. I mixed them together and they are cooling now! Peanutbutter is sticky I hope it works!
