Old Recipe -Butter Dips- they can be addicting

[BeccaOH]

Would a whole wheat version of these be possible -- just so I don't feel too bad about eating a whole pan?

any recipe that you want to convert to whole wheat, start by using 1/4 the white flour with wheat and work your way up.

the whole wheat is heavier. you may need to adjust your baking powder ratio also.

if you do it, post your ratios and pics so we can all try!

Hmmm.... It's probably the baking powder. I followed the directions exactly. I will have to get some more and try again. I do have to say though, that the chickens loved them the way they were.

Thanks for all your help.

Okay, so I tried the recipe for the first time, adjusting it with whole wheat.

1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour (1 cup whole wheat, 1/4 cup white, plus 1/8 cup white during kneading -- but dough was still a bit sticky when I dipped it in butter)
2 teaspoons sugar (2 tablespoons and 1/4 tsp cinnamon)
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup whole milk

Sprinkled butter dipped and ready dough with a cinnamon/sugar blend.

Dipped finished product in butter, sugar, and cinnamon to eat.

They were a bit dense and "nutty" for a sweet treat, but I did manage to eat several pieces.

My mother wasn't very impressed and only ate one. I'll keep working on it, but I'll have to try it with all unbleached white flour.
