Cedar Creek Grist Mill, Woodland, WA, Sunday, November 1, 2009


My daughter, Kimberly, and I did some geocaching on the way to the 1876 Cedar Creek Grist Mill in Woodland, Washington and then one geocache afterwards on the way to I-5 S and back to Vancouver. At the Grist Mill we watched the grinding of two kinds of wheat into flour and cornmeal. We were given small brown bags of flour (great for scones, biscuits, pancakes) and cornmeal (great for cornbread to serve with chili). Neither of us took the bread flour as we did not make bread. We got a couple recipes also: Collins' Honey Beer Bread and Grist Mill Buttermilk Pancakes. I have the "Cedar Creek Grist Mill Favorite Recipes" Cookbook c. 1991 which has recipes for Baking Powder Biscuits and County Scones.
