Mom's Whole Wheat 32 Sourdough Biscuit
No-Salt Recipe # 1, by Elijah; Copyright (c) 1997
Dry Ingredients
4 Cups White Flour
3 Tablespoons Baking Soda or Only Safe Natural Wood Ash
(Baking Soda is needed to Activate the Wild Sourdough Yeast)
3 Cups Fine ground Whole Wheat Flour
4 Cups Medium Coarse Ground Wheat Flour
Mix dry Ingredients together with spoon or hands while dry.
Wet Ingredients
3 Cups of Mom's Sourdough B
4 Tablespoons Sugar or 1/2 cup of Honey (Needed to feed the Wild Yeast)
3.5 Cups room temperature milk
1 Cup of Cooking Oil
Mix wet Ingredients together with hands until thoroughly mixed. The above mixture should be
about the right consistency of wetness. If needed add a little Wheat Flour [less than 1/2 cup] or
water until dough is right texture for cutting with 3.25 inch diameter Biscuit Cutter.
Sprinkle some dry White Flour on your counter top so the dough will not stick to the counter. At
this point put some dry White Flour on your hands so the dough won't stick to your hands. Put
dough on flour sprinkled counter. Sprinkle a little dry White Flour on top of the dough and knead
the dough a little with dry White Flour on your hands, then flatten the dough to about one inch
thick.
Smear a light coat of cooking oil on each of your three 11 by 16 inch cookie sheet pans. Twelve 3.25 inch diameter biscuits will fit on each 11 by 16 inch cookie sheet pan. [After cutting each biscuit as described below, put the biscuits on oily pan top down and turn biscuits over on other side so some oil gets on both sides. Lay out biscuits evenly. At this point preheat your oven to 325 degrees.]
Sprinkle some dry White Flour on your Biscuit cutter so the dough won't stick to the biscuit
cutter. Cut one inch thick by 3.25 inch diameter biscuits. Knead the remaining dough together and
flatten dough again to one inch thick and cut biscuits again. Keep doing this process until you
have used all the dough. [If you want the biscuits to rise better, let them set on the cookie sheets
for an hour before you put them in the oven. Longer time might cause Baking Soda to
deactivate.]
When your oven gets up to 325 degrees, put the biscuits in the oven and bake the biscuits for
about 32-38 minutes. Set your timer! Without a timer you might burn the biscuits.
This concludes Mother & Elijah's first Whole Wheat Biscuit recipe; 8-18-1996. These are very
satisfying biscuits. You can't buy commercial biscuits that satisfy. We grind our own Hard Red
Wheat. The grit in the Medium Coarse Flour in these biscuits works wonders on your digestive
system. When you grind the Medium Coarse Flour too fine, or cut down on the Medium Coarse
flour on any of Elijah's Biscuit Recipes, it is not as healthy to eat, because it does not have
enough grit for a healthy diet.page 1 of 1

There is not enough Medium Coarse Flour for grit in this batch of biscuits for a healthy diet. Yet
some people (Children) prefer lighter Biscuits. To work wonders on your digestive system, use
more Medium Coarse flour.

Elijah Gwinn's Jerky Mix
(Recipe # 13; Copyright (c) 1997)
Use 3 Tablespoons of the below mix for each 2 pounds
of Lean [12% fat or less] Hamburger for Hot Spice.
Or, use 2 Tablespoons of below mix for Mild Spice.
__________________________________________________________
7 Tablespoons of Lawry's Seasoning Salt
2 Tablespoons of Tone's Restaurant Black Pepper
2 Tablespoons of Tone's Chili Powder
4 Tablespoons of Tone's Granulated Onion Powder
1 Tablespoon of Tone's Granulated Garlic
1.5 Tablespoons of Tone's Crushed Red Peppers
----------
17.5 Tablespoons Total will Spice 12 pounds of Raw Hamburger.
Mix spices into hamburger extremely well!
Elijah's Jerky Spice Mix rivals any commercial Jerky Mixes on the Market. One 17.5 Tablespoon
batch would cost at least $12.00 for this much commercial Jerky Spice Mix. Lawry's Seasoning
Salt comes in 40 ounce containers. Tone's spices come in 16 ounce containers. Costco has Tone's
Spices in these 16 ounce containers at about $3.55 to $4.00 per 16 ounce container. That is about
25 cents per ounce. The Lawry's Seasoning Salt costs less per ounce than the spices. Four
Tablespoons of Elijah's Jerky Mix weighs about one ounce. Thus the above 17.5 tablespoons of
Elijah's Jerky Mix costs about 6.25 cents per Tablespoon.
17.5 ounces of Elijah's Jerky Mix at 3 tablespoons per 2 pounds of lean Hamburger will spice up
12 pounds of raw Hamburger costing only about $1.10 for the spices. When compared to
commercial Jerky Mix, you save about $10.90 per 12 pounds of raw hamburger all spiced up
ready for Jerky drying in dehydrator. Hamburger costs us $1.69 per pound. The only equipment
needed is one American Harvest #2400 SnackMaster Dehydrator [one of the best] costing about
$49.95. It comes with 4 trays. Buy at least 6 more trays but make sure they are trays designed for
the model #2400. The #2200 and #2400 are the same machine using up to 12 trays each, but the
#2200 comes with 2 trays often at the same price. It is better to buy the Snackmaster #2400
which comes with four trays at Sam's in Fife Wa. for $49.95. The SnackMaster Junior Dehydrator
or trays are not adequate.
With the #2400 internal fan running, the Jerky will dry in about 10 hours with 6 trays. 14 hours with 12 trays. Each tray holds about one pound of raw hamburger. About 3.3 pounds of raw hamburger makes one pound of dried Jerky. Commercial dried Jerky of this quality costs about $25.00 per pound. You also need at least one American Harvest Jerky Works Gun [about $22.00 each] which squeezes the hamburger into one inch wide by 1/8th. inch thick strips ready for the Dehydrator. American Harvest 4064 Peavey Road, Chaska, Mn, 55318; 1-800-288-4545. This 800 number will accept your order. When we want the Jerky Extra Spicy Hot, we add 4 dashes of Tabasco Pepper Sauce and one teaspoon of Tone's ground Cayenne Pepper to each two pound batch of lean hamburger.

Large Recipe
(Fine Tuned by Elijah Gwinn)
Put one heaping Tablespoon of baking soda in 9 cups of dry Pinto Beans. Put hot water on beans
until 5 inches above beans. Let Pinto Beans soak 12 hours. (10 cups of dry Pinto beans measured
21 cups of soaked beans. We use 18 cups of soaked Pinto Beans.)
After the 12 hours of soaking expires, rinse beans thoroughly in warm water a few times. Put 18
cups of thoroughly soaked Pinto beans into a large Roaster Pan. [Roaster pan is the pan we use to
cook large turkey]
Add 16 cups of hot water to Roaster Pan. Then start cooking at hottest setting on Electric Range
until beans start to boil. As soon as Pinto Beans start to boil turn down to 6-7 with 0-11 dial and
set Pinto Bean timer for one hour.
[At this point while you are waiting for the Pinto Beans to come to a boil. Start 5 pounds of lean
Raw Hamburger cooking in large frying pan with 1.5 four inch diameter Onions. Add one
Tablespoon of Minced Garlic [Same type as below] to hamburger. Set Hamburger Frying Pan
Timer to cook Hamburger at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.]
As soon as the Pinto Beans come to a boil, scoop off foam to get out the last of the baking soda.
This foam should be scooped off before any spices or onions are added to the Pinto Beans. This
foam skimming is done as soon as Hamburger and Onions are cooking and can be left to fry.
After skimming off foam, while Hamburger is frying and Roaster Pan Pinto Beans are
cooking immediately proceed to add the following ingredients to Roaster Pan:
Add 1/2 large 4 inch diameter Onion chopped up into half inch by one inch chunks into
Roaster Pan.
Add 2 Teaspoon of Crushed Chilies. [Made by Pacific Spice Company
L.A. California. Comes in 5 ounce jar.]
Add 2 Tablespoons of Tone's Brand mild Chili Powder (Light).
[Mother says this Chili Powder is too mild. Prefers to
use hotter Chili Powder, using less to get the same
results. This Chili Powder comes in 18 ounce jar.]
Add 1 heaping Tablespoon of Johnny's Chef-Blended Seasoning Salt.
[Comes in 32 oz. jar, from Tacoma Wa. 98421]
Add 1/3 cup of French's Worcestershire Sauce.
[Comes in 32 ounce bottle]
Add 15 ounce can of Tomato Sauce.

At this point you are fine tuning for taste!
[Note: This Recipe works fine by soaking only 6 cups of dry Pinto Beans rather than the normal 9
cups and not adding the following fine tuning ingredients and skipping the Tabasco Pepper Sauce.
If using only 6 cups of dry Pinto Beans cut down from the normal 16 cups of water to 12 cups of
water.]
Add 4 Teaspoons of Chili Powder.
Add 1 Teaspoon of Johnny's Seasoning Salt.
Turn off burners on stove when 55 minute timer sounds.
Chili is now ready to EAT!
Under survival conditions it does not change recipe if you want to cut down on the hamburger,
replacing it by adding ground or chopped one inch square chunks of Deer, Beaver, Muskrat, Beef,
Elk or Moose steak. It is very good with beef or meat chunks added.

Elijah Gwinn's Sourdough Starter Mix #B
(Mom's Starter Mix)
(Recipe # 16; Copyright (c) 1997)
Use one 2 gallon round old fashioned type Crock with a round plate as a lid.
(In 1996 two gallon Crocks cost about $22.00 each.)
Add to Crock the Following Ingredients:
2 Cups of Warm (85-94 degree F.) water mixed with 2 Cups of warm Carnation Evaporated
Canned Milk.
2 Cups of fresh fine ground Whole Wheat Flour (Hard Red Spring Wheat is Best).
2 Cups of regular White Flour (make sure to get the lumps out).
1 Tablespoon of RED STAR Active Dry Yeast.
Stir well with clean SAFE Plastic, Wood, or Stainless Steel Spoon (Other types of metal kills Yeast).
Make sure there are no lumps!
Set Crock in a Warm place (Preferably 85 degrees F.. It worked for us at 75 degrees F.. Never
hotter than 95 degrees F.; over 95 degrees F., kills the Sourdough.) to rise overnight. After 12
hours you should have Sourdough. If a clear yellow liquid forms on top of your starter it is
nothing more than a very crude alcohol called "Hooch". Indians and Mountain Men drank the
Hooch to get drunk, but we don't recommend drinking it. If Hooch has formed on top of your
Starter Mix, your Starter Mix should be just right. It should smell something like home brew beer.
About 36 hours after you started your Sourdough Starter Mix take a clean 3 quart plastic bowl
and add the Refresher Mix Below to the Starter:
Refresher Mix:
2 Cups of Warm (about 85 degree F.) Water.
2 Cups of Warm (about 85 degree F.) Canned Milk.
2 Cups of (Fine Ground) Whole Wheat Flour. (Fine=3 times through tight Grinder)
2 Cups of regular White Flour. (Regular store bought White Flour is fine.)
Add No Yeast!
(The Fine Ground Whole Wheat Flour is not nearly as Fine as the Store Bought White Flour.)
Stir Refresher Mix well so there are no lumps, then pour the Refresher Mix ingredients of this 3
quart plastic bowl into your 36 hour old Sourdough Starter Mix in the two gallon Crock and stir
in well with Safe Spoon. After another 24 hours you are safe to use 8 Cups of your Sourdough
Mix for baking Biscuits or bread. Make sure to immediately add another batch of Refresher Mix
to your Crock each time you use 8 Cups of Sourdough Mix.
Now that you have enough Sourdough, you need to keep using it and Refreshing it. If at any time
one-quarter or more of the total bulk of your starter is yellow Hooch on top, it is time to stir well
and use half of the starter or throw half of your starter away. Replace or Refresh the half you used
or threw away with enough warm milk, water and flour in equal measured parts of the Refresher
Mix ingredients, but don't add more yeast. The Sourdough grows its own yeast. After you have
your Sourdough going and being used for two weeks or more, the only essential ingredients are
water, fine wheat flour and the Sourdough Starter micro-organisms which are already in your
Sourdough Starter Mix. Warm Milk mixed with Warm Water makes sourdough more pungent,
but more apt to spoil.
page 1 of 2
The healthiest and best Sourdough flavor comes from a Sourdough Starter which is used
frequently. The less often you use the Sourdough Starter Mix, the cooler temperature you should
keep your Sourdough Starter Mix. The colder the Sourdough Starter is, the less active it is. At
around 38 degrees F., your Sourdough Starter is only slightly active. If you are going on a trip
and not going to use your Sourdough Starter Mix for a week, or two, store it in the lowest shelf
of your Refrigerator.
If you don't plan on using your Sourdough Starter for up to about four months, freeze it in the
freezer. Sourdough Starter can withstand several freezings and thawings during its lifetime if you
don't keep it frozen too long. Thaw your Sourdough Starter by letting it come to room
temperature gradually. Don't try to speed up the thawing. If little bugs are flying around keep
plastic wrap over your Crock with a plate over the top of the Crock. When Plastic Wrap is
covering the Crock stir Sourdough Starter in the Crock every day. This gives Sourdough Starter
plenty of air to breath, grow and live.
If bugs or contamination gets in your Sourdough Starter Mix, you must throw it away and start
over again. Thus, it is not a bad idea to freeze a quart of Sourdough Starter every two months for
backup, just in case your Sourdough Starter Mix gets contaminated. No two Sourdough Starter
batches are the same. Thus, if you get your hands on an excellent batch of Sourdough Starter,
keep some backups frozen. If you want to try different type Sourdough batches, obtain another
two gallon Crock for each. Don't Contaminate one Sourdough Starter Batch with other
Sourdough Starter Batches. Name all your Sourdough Starter Batches "A", "B", "C", etcetera.
Don't stir two batches of Sourdough Starter with the same Spoon or you could destroy them!
Some prospectors and trappers believed Sourdough Starter Mix had to be kept for several weeks
or even a year before it was ready to use. There is a difference between wild yeast and commercial
baker's yeast. Baker's yeast is much more active than wild yeast and makes bread rise much faster.
Some people think wild yeast is superior for Sourdough Starter. Wild Yeast is in the air and Wild
Yeast grows in nature everywhere. If you do not have commercial yeast, you can use Wild Yeast
from Juniper Berries, Cedar Berries, Oregon Grape Berries, a few other fruits and berries or the
white dust covering some tree barks as the pioneers did. Mix some of this Wild Yeast bearing
material with flour and water keeping it at the right temperature (about 85 degrees F.) until the
action Starts, then remove the berries or bark from the mix. A proven Sourdough Starter culture
is the best place to obtain a Sourdough Starter Mix. Don't be discouraged if you fail to get your
first few batches of Sourdough Starter going. Summer time (85 degree F. Temperature) is the
best time to activate a new Sourdough Starter.
If you don't feed your starter often enough with Refresher Mix the yeast will eat all the flour and start to die due to lack of food. If the Sourdough Starter is not fed and used often enough it can become so overpowing in your biscuits you won't want to eat the biscuits. The cooler you keep your Sourdough Starter the less it needs to eat to be healthy. Sourdough Starter that uses milk imparts a stronger more pungent flavor to your biscuits, pancakes and bread. But sourdough using milk does not have as long a shelf life without Refreshing with Refresher Mix, because it eats faster to keep healthy.
Mother's Sourdough Starter #A, was obtained from a commercial Bakery, and we only add Warm
Water, Half White Flour and Half fine ground Whole Wheat Flour. Usually 4 Cups of Warm
Water, 2 Cups of White Flour, 2 Cups of Whole Wheat Flour for Refresher Mix. We Stir the
Refresher Mix in a 3 quart plastic bowl until there are no lumps, then dump it into the Starter "A"
two gallon Crock and mix it well inside the Crock. All of Elijah's Sourdough recipes can be used
with either Sourdough Starter "A" or "B". Don't heat Starter ingredients with Microwave ovens,
they kill it. We mostly use two crocks of Starter "A" and don't use Starter "B" anymore because
milk in the Starter crock sours too easy. Two different starters sour each other if in same room.
Good Luck!

Tablespoon of Water or Fine Flour at a time to obtain proper texture.
Wait and let Knead 3 Minutes before you add another Tablespoon.
[NOTE: Vertical Bread-pan type Bread Machines do not seem to work very well
for Whole Wheat Breads with Course Wheat. On Vertical Bread pan Machines
the burner is too far from the top of the loaf, thus, the dough on the top does
not get done enough. We have had problems with our course wheat bread breaking
apart when we cut thin slices for sandwiches. It did not hold together enough for
sandwiches. We are trying to fix this problem. This recipe is not too bad for sandwiches.
White flour is not healthy, course wheat flour is healthy, but breaks apart too easy.
Make healthy course bread to eat without making sandwich. For sandwiches use this recipe.

Bread Machine Settings: Basic; Medium; Large
Bread Machine takes about 3 Hours & 40 Minutes
In middle of Knead-Cycle Bread-machine beeps; At this point, if needed add one
Tablespoon of Water or Fine Flour at a time to obtain proper texture.
Knowing the proper texture takes some experience.
Wait and let Knead 3 Minutes before you add another Tablespoon.
When warmed, this loaf is as good as dinner rolls.
When this bread is cold, this Recipe is the best mix we have found for fine slicing
sandwiches bread.
[NOTE: Vertical Bread-pan type Bread Machines do not seem to work very well
for Whole Wheat Breads with Course Wheat. On Vertical Bread-pan Machines,
the burner is too far from the top of the loaf, thus, the dough on the top does
not get done enough.
