Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    In a food processor or large bowl, combine 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour, 2/3 cup wheat germ, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt. Pulse or whisk to blend evenly.

  2. Step 2.

    Cut 2/3 cup unsalted butter into small pieces with a knife. Add the butter to the flour mixture and work it in with your fingers, a pastry blender, or pulse in the food processor until the mixture resembles coarse sand with no large butter lumps.

  3. Step 3.

    Make a well in the center of the flour-butter mixture. Pour in 5 cups milk, 3 tablespoons apple concentrate (if using), 4 beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon vanilla, and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until the dry ingredients are moistened and the liquids are fully incorporated; do not overmix—a few lumps are fine.
